I’ve been seeing a lot of posts & comments ranting about how long YouTube ads are [Edit: specifically, ON LEMMY], how tiny the little X is to close popups, etc and I don’t get it. It’s less effort to install blockers than it is to keep complaining about ads.

Browser: uBlock Origin on Firefox, works on both Android and Desktop (Windows/Linux)

Most Android apps: RethinkDNS to block third-party ads

YouTube: NewPipe or ReVanced Manager

Reddit: ReVanced Manager

    I mean specifically the people that are complaining on Lemmy, where you can’t go more than a dozen posts without running into someone mentioning some sort of ad blocking or privacy tools.
