Bikini Bottom Twitter

It was fresh on my mind from earlier and my blood was still pumping. Here's my thinking, though. I've been using uOrigin with great success. Never saw any ads on YouTube. One day I get a notice from YouTube letting me know that using adblocking is against their ToS and that I can only watch three more videos ad-free. "Well, that sucks. Guess I'm getting ads now." Since then, my usage of YouTube has dropped DRAMATICALLY. I barely use it anymore. That's how I'm protesting. I'm not saying that anything that appears on my screen is subject to MY ToS (I'm choosing to visit their site), I'm not saying that they have no right to force ads on us, and I'm not saying that I'm entitled to free content. All I'm saying is that YouTube can conduct itself how it best sees fit; if I don't like it, I'm by no means obliged to continue using their service. That, I feel, is the best way to let your voice be heard -- vote with your clicks, especially when it comes to a non-vital. YouTube's a for-profit company, so of course they're in the business of making money. They may be the biggest in the game, but unless there are extenuating circumstances, no one is required to use them. I may be missing some nuances, but this is more or less how I see it. Don't like it? Don't use it.

I've since discovered that I can browse YouTube ad-free indefinitely by going in cognito.
