    And then YouTube decides to get upset at people who block ads. Before there was even a paid option I just gave up on videos because the midroll ad made me forget what I was even watching. Or, I would be falling asleep to something relaxing and quiet, and then nearly shitting my pants because the world’s loudest ad began to play.

    Maybe I should be thanking YouTube for convincing me to finally set up some serious ad-blocking on my whole network.

      On Mac/Safari I use an extension called Vinegar that replace the YouTube player with the standard HTML5 player, meaning that Google is basically fucked.
