Do you use adblock?

[PCBudgetSolutions]

Poll ^^^

 

I personally feel that youtube and such is free right now, 5-15 seconds of my time is worth not having to pay them a fee.  Also most videos I watch are from content creators and I know they make money from that.  I refuse to hurt these guys in any way.

I do because 30seconds of un-skip-able ads piss the fcking sh*t out of me when the video itself is 30 seconds

[naca1227]

Of course, can't live without it

[Youbetternot]

Yes I do!

[brownninja97]

Nope. I like to support Content Creators.

+1 internet for you

[PCBudgetSolutions]

I guess free isn't enough :(

[TheSLSAMG]

Ever since I switched to Opera, no. It's an awesome browser, and Chrome was giving me problems in my multi screen setup.

Yeah I guess not, to be honest I couldn't give less shits if you're Linus, Logan or God.

I don't like seeing ads about Roomba's or whatever those things are called

I only ever see 15 second unskippable ads and 5 second skip ads.

5 SECONDS I WILL NEVER GET BACK :(

I use it, but have it turned off for YouTube and twitch to support the video producers I enjoy, and use the non-obtrusive option in Adblock plus, so the less annoying ones are not blocked on sites, so they can still generate revenue, but the large flashing ones, or the ones with sound are blocked.

9 people are  lying, everyone uses adblock

I have a youtube plug in for chrome that blocks some adds, not all. It also makes the video buffer even when I am not in that tab! It also sets the quality to 1080 automatically!

I don't use it.

[_ASSASSIN_]

sorry, but youtube really got annoying with their ads, I hope youtube can change back to what it was in 2009, instead of ads galore

[Yoinkerman]

I go to like 5 websites, most of which don't have ads.  The ones that do I've developed nice blinders for.  

 

I don't use adblock, I don't see a need for it, the sites I visit with ads they aren't annoying so I don't care.

 

Maybe I don't youtube enough?

[origx36]

i use it,

i turn it off on youtube

[Snake]

Yes i hate seeing annoying ads and they also slow down your browsing as you are having to load more on the page.

I cant live without adblock

[Shrubpig]

I use it, but I like and favorite every video I watch to support the creators :P

[Luc401]

I do but i do support the creators still.But if linus would just take my money man.. 

[Matsy]

Yes I use it, all the time, sorry but ad's are annoying as hell.

[TechSage]

Ads are annoying... Why put Craigslist ads with half naked girls and basically just Porn on the side.. It's not a public computer but it's a family one so in I use it to block ads that kids shouldn't see

[Calavera]

Wish there was a proper way to disable it for certain YouTubers, some people I want to make money off of me, others I don't want them to really.

Here's the thing. It's not just 15 seconds, it's 15 seconds multiple times a day.

I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I've done the calculation before, but I just did it again, just for you. If I watch YouTube videos at the same rate as I have in the past week, I'd rack up 24 hours of ad-watching time within a year. I don't know if you subscribe to the old adage "time is money", but if you do then you'll agree, that's not "free" for me.

I'll support them by word of mouth and hopefully that makes up for it, but I only get one lifetime and I'd rather not have nearly two days of my year (accounting for sleep) spent watching advertisements.

[Thunderjolt]

I use adblock because ads have become extremely annoying. I'm all for donating money to content creators when they need it but it is so annoying when you just want to watch a video then you get an advert about toothpaste. I have enough of that from watching TV on those rare occasions.
