Well, you get to pay for YouTube and see ads!

Ads inform you of products you might not otherwise know about! What a deal!

That's be a great if it weren't for the fact that like 95% of the ads I get shown aren't remotely relevant.

It's like gatcha games or diapers. At least the Lexus and Jaguar ads are flattering cuz they think I'm fancy even though I don't make enough to ever afford one.

What if it was a diaper gatcha game?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure that's what diapers are

Dude - what!? Can I pay someone to show me these products I would have to pay for? Let's be real, just watching what I want when I want just isn't engaging enough for me.
