I use ublock origin on desktop. For YouTube I love Sponsorblock and started to use dearrow to remove gaping mouth thumbnails and modify click bait thumbnails.

On mobile I do not usually have an ad blocker set up so I just don't browse the Internet much at all from it. I do always use some kind of ad blocking YouTube player though. I really love sponsorblock.

I most certainly feel fine about it.

Especially since most of what I want to see is by people passionately showing off their hobby. When nobody tried to get paid for content I found I enjoyed it more. Nowadays I costume less and less content.

Do not trust spez

Yeah it would seem so.

I like to imagine they created each account manually, angrily downvoting me, whilst completely forgetting karma isn't a thing here.

okay, well, i'll just add you to my blocklist and move on i guess.

you know, i come across posts like yours far more frequently than the stuff you complain about- just a fyi

Best of luck

i think in future perhaps instance owners would have a temp place holder page; stating that the instance is down - please select an alternative from the list below. that way at least people get some idea of what's going on and how to move forward from it.
