Okay, that was the single greatest post-roll ad transisition in the history of videos, ever.
***** I didn't know you watch Linus! Good to see you Ant! :)
***** Agreed
True hey antvenom when are you gona do a video with caveman gizzard sky and basher. Like in ur next video do a minecraft Hexxit series
Auto correct gizzi
Antvenom watches every channel on TH-cam confirmed
I turned off Adblock on TH-cam once...I'm surprised I made it out alive.. Never again..
Kitsune91 LMAO nice
Kitsune91 I have ABP disabled on TH-cam and I don't even notice the skipable ads. The ones you can't skip, those are the issue.
just where on youtube do you guys go? I spend a decent amount of time here and I get very, very few ads, the last time an add was played befote the vid was...last month?
Kitsune91 You got lucky. Some....some don't make it out....
Kitsune91 i dont even notice. I never JUST use one site at a time, so if an ad i'm not interested in plays i just ctrl + tab to a different browser tab where I'm usually on forums or something and then come back in 30s :P
I've never been bothered by ads to be honest. I only run ABP primarily for script blocks on first-time visits in case of shady websites. I disable it on any trusted sites.
That was the best Segway in any LTT video ever, bar none. Good job Linus!

Running ads at the end of the video is great for the viewer. I wonder if companies pay less for those types of ads.
Yes they do but that's a trade off that makes sense to us.
Techquickie As Linus mentioned in one of the WAN shows, I don't really get why people complain about ads after the video. Before the video is much worse.
Techquickie I don't get why. Denying the content behind a timer makes me hate their company. The well done proper promotions at the end of the video actually intrigue me.
For example, I don't really have a use for Freshbooks right now, but I bookmarked anyway, since it seems useful. You can bet I wouldn't have even thought about doing so with an annoying pre-roll.
Techquickie imbedded ads at the end are certainly not an issue. The reason I run adblock is mostly because the ads aren't relevant. So many times I got car insurance ads when I wasn't running adblock that I just got fed up. I'm blind, I don't need car insurance. Or a lot of things that are advertised. I watch the adverts you put in and have considered a few courses on Lynda because of you guys.
Eric Lin Yes.
There is no valid argument against ad-blocking if your ads are obtrusive
and invasive. Make better ads & customers won’t block them.
Many of the people arguing against blockers today forget how ad blockers came to be in the first place. If ads were harmless or even moderately annoying, no one would have been motivated enough to create such a rigorous infrastructure like with AdBlock Plus or uBlock Origin. By the early 2000s we were being assulted by pop-ups, pop-unders, Flash ads with sound, Java ads with sound, and more, often with multiples of the aforementioned on the same page.
Beyond creating the tools, common users wouldn't have been motivated enough to install blockers were the utility value not so high.
The advertisers brought it on themselves. I have banned domains in my Hosts file, on the spot, for pop up ads.
+Bill I did the same with TF2. Those ads would cripple my frame rate, and it wouldn't go away unless I exit the game.
don't forget the ones where if you click anywhere on the pop up, even the close button they take you to more ad pages and shit.
goggle needs to remove malware ads and this will stop
The TH-cam algorithm recommending this today doesn't feel like a coincidence
Welcome to a new episode of "Internet doesn't Forget"
exactly
I will always use adblock. If all ads were like on reddit for example then fine but 99.99% of ads are annoying and/or scams/viruses/malware/spyware. For this reason I see no logical incentive to stop using it and no, I don't feel guilty at all.
I think that if you put malicious/annoying ads on your site, you are the one that should feel guilty, not us.
Yes
+everest108 there is a problem with that...some sites wont work and there is a glitch that like you dont have adblock but site says "turn of adblock"
+Samuel Lakatoš Personally for me it depends on the site. Sites that I frequent that don't run annoying ads, I keep it disables, but if I'm on a site like TPB or the like I keep it enabled. On top of that I do keep it disabled on TH-cam as I don't actually find TH-cam ads that annoying, even the unskippable ones.
+everest108 then whitelists the other sites. I also use adblock. But i whitelists all sites that i enjoy and trust.
+Kevin Uchiha That's exactly what I do.
I will enable Ads if that fucking 50 second-unskipable "How to lose 10KG in one week" ad stops showing
I'M SKINNY AS FUCK WHY DO I NEED TO WATCH THE WHOLE 50 SECOND!
There is this cool feature on all computers and mobile devices that allow you to mute sound.

Still. 50 seconds of waiting for a video that probably wont take 5 mins is so annoying...

30 sec Russian ads
JackOps 21 seconds Israeli shampoo ad and 20 seconds Israeli shaving ad damn they're annoying
Who's here after Linus called us all pirates. Still love you Linus, but blocking ads is not piracy or copyright infringment. No one has an obligation to listen to our ads 💕 I do pay for youtube prem so you get my pennies.
You should watch the WAN show - he explained it pretty well. If you take something without paying (either through ads, or premium), you are a privateer. Arrgh.
@@malmazoar you obviously know nothing about piracy
@@malmazoar piracy is robbing ships at sea. Allowing content creators to hijack the term because it sounds scarier and more dramatic than “copyright infringement” is lunacy. What’s next, are we going to call littering “genocide”? Or perhaps playing loud music too late at night should be considered “high treason” against your neighbours. And now you’re trying to throw “privateering” into the mix!? What is with this nautical obsession of yours, exactly?
If I adblock a pirate website am I in the clear then? Or am I double pirate? Lol
@@malmazoar it's only piracy if you're downloading and/or sharing it, not blocking ads. is it piracy if you go to the bathroom during commeercial breaks?
Where was the section of the video that said adblocking was literally the same as piracy? Lololol
I use Adblock and will continue to do so. It's annoying with:
-Popups
-Casino commercial (they're everywhere!)
-"Horny women looking for men" commercial
-Videoads on pages that goes full blast audio when you hover your mouse over it.
-Trailers that spoil movies
And more.
If commercials were more modest and less "In your face!", I wouldn't block them. But now I do.
I'd rather pay by Patreon to support the ones I subscribe. Feels like you're getting more in return and can join a cleaner and more intreated community that way.

personally i dont give even the smallest fraction of a ****** about "websites revenue" because the very fact that theyre still up means that theyre doing just fine (which he even kind of admits at 1:57)
including fortnite ads 😡
@@raine6813 the revenue is gone to the youtuber. If a small youtuber gets adblocked, they're not going to take it as well as Linus. And of course, we as viewers don't know how many youtubers lose money, because they don't make enough money to keep creating content lol
@@TheHiroClaw123 many content creators have been saying that for years that ad revenue on youtube is not what it used to be. Many say that it's just not feasible to rely on the ad revenue anymore. That's why Patreon and the likes grew so much over the last years. I don't think even your argument is that much valid anymore.

***** This has never happened to me.
I have never bought anything directly because of an ad online..
And if anything, particularly intrusive ads have the opposite affect. I am less likely to buy a product with annoying ads.
Not the point of ads. When you think of cars, what do you think of? When you think of candy bars, sodas, fast food restaurants, what do you think of?
For every one of those, you thought of something. Because you thought of something, the ad succeeded. It is not to make you buy something immediately but to make you think of those products when you decide you want something.
I am thirsty. What do you want? Maybe a coke.
I want to grab a quick bite. I heard checkers is having a deal.
I need a new car. Those Mercedes sadans look great!
You know what you are not thinking of? Polaris cars, Jones soft drink, VU+. Products that may or may not be good but you will never know because they rarely advertise.
i will now assault your mind with subliminal messaging!!
but that aside, i do occasionally see adds of games or movies i otherwise may not have heard of. or see a product i think is cool. or hey, sometimes the add is interesting or half decent to watch.
I think I have to agree with "PeskyCanadian", due to the way I remember things by linking memory:
See a drink ad? Cola -> relaxed -> want action -> drinks soda in GTA -> play GTA
car ad? Car -> Driving -> action -> Travel -> RPG or racing game
cat food ad? Cat -> Khajiit -> Skyrim
loan money ad? Economy -> spreadsheet -> EVE Online or the X space games (X Rebirth/X3 Reunion)
game ad? Any game will do
Because of entertainment level: Learning < Gaming.
Only thing that outweight Gaming is Learning & Entertainment, only time I break over to gaming then are annoying ads that distract me from having a fun learning experience online.
In short, any ad I see usually stops me from watching LinusTechTips and start gaming instead, and with that miss that next video I could have given a like.
Whitch I guess is both good and bad depending on point of view, and me? I have fun nonetheless.
ok. U saw a trailer as an ad for an upcoming movie and then bought a ticket, dvd, blu ray, netflix, etc.
Why is this recommended right after your tweet about adblocking being piracy..
TH-cam recommended this to me and I thought it was a topical new video
I don't dislike ads, my only problem is with disruptive ads.
Same here. I understand that ads are the ones that pay for the operation and maintenance of the website/servers, but some ads really push the limits of annoyance. I click one, just one, button and maybe five pop ups show and there were times that pop ups contain more pop ups. There should be a committee that will regulate these ads. A simple picture or text could be tolerable, but not those pop ups.
Fucing ads that you dont care about like
Care level: -infinit
Or 15 sec ads that arent skipable
that transition to the sponsor message is smooth af
Lol
Rez ikr
Freshbooks would be proud
if more ads where made by the creators who put them out there. the fans of these creators would be far more willing to actually watch them.
Fun Fact: When this video was made the revenue of LTT was greatly depended on AdSense and other kind of Google adds(if there any other kind of, ofc). Now, since LTT has grew up significantly LTT can easily makes money from other sources such as sponsored contents, merch and etc.
TLDR: It makes more sense for Linus in this video to call using adblocks piracy than today's Linus.
I didn't understand any of that. LTT? ofc? TLDR? Linus?
If it's not worth your time to expand acronyms, your comments will fly over the heads of a lot of your target audience.

ADblock is the best thing ever invented
@@suomi5454 Easy... You need to make "Duckduckgo" your main search engine from now one.... Use Firefox as your browser and intergrade DuckDuckGo by going to Duckduckgo.com.. This search engine NEVER tracks you and never stores anything you've been searching on the web.... It also eliminates all the bullshit ads that you get with google when searching an gives you the results upfront instead! Make sure in install "Adblock Ultimate" and "Adblocker for TH-cam" as plugins for Firefox and you're all good!

DogeOf Illuminati you have a lot of things, except education.
I was completely fine with TH-cam ads UNTIL they started playing a commercial before the videos that you had to watch for a certain time. That's when I got AdBlock.
Exactly!
Really 5 seconds to support the guy who spent 5+ hours to make the video is too demanding ?
people like that dont care about the creature just the content they get in their mouths
5 seconds - hardly. If ads were just 5 seconds there would be little objection. The problem is that the ads make browsing and selecting videos to watch torturous.
David J Gill what ? the only time you would perceive an ad on youtube is when you click on a video .
came here after the whole "adblock is piracy" thing
why i use adblock:
1. ads are usually disruptive and intrusive to the point where it lowers the quality of the website
2. ads usually contain scams and viruses
3. i also dont support the practice of profiting off of showing people malicious ads
4. some ads are inappropriate to show to younger people
5. advertisers make about 10 cents per person who see their ad so one person disabling their adblocker really wont make a difference anyway
6. i paid for my internet and ill do what i want with it
once the internet stops having ads like the ones i described in reasons 1-4 i wont have a need for adblock anymore, but until then i will have NO shame using adblock wherever i go. its the advertisers own fault im doing this
what ad blocker do you use?
@@MariButters i use the "AdBlock - best ad blocker" and its pretty reliable, you can block out whatever you want from a webpage and even configure it to automatically block other annoyances like social media buttons, although i also couple it with a popup blocker as adblock dosent seem very good at blocking popups on its own

CasualCoolseb Adblock is life
As soon as you can garantee that these braindead adservers stop spewing malware, I'll consider removing adblocking. This is not about paying content creators. This is like publishing you bank data with content creators promising no one will abuse that.
It's on you, the content creators, the websites operators and the adservers to weed out malware. As long as you don't, ads get blocked. It's as simple as that.
And not have legitamently over 20 ads in a under half hour video
well said my man, well said
Its not on the content creators, they are literally held RANSOM by this system. They would love to fuck ads right off and charge an upfront $3 a month etc.
Now days adblock has setting that lets website show non intrusive ads. Intrusive = Annoying audio streams, pop up ads, half the page ad banner etc.
exatcly, this isnt about avoiding eye sores of ads polluting the webpages i visit, its about protecting MY computer from viruses that could destroy my computer in one click, THEY are the ones shoving computer destroying ads in my face and until that changes i will have NO shame in not giving them the average 1-2 dollars they get per visit in order to protect my 1200 dollar computer
funny i get this recommended to me now
adblock is good when it's not my content getting adblocked
If the browser won't let me use AdBlock i don't use that browser
safari?
Dude adblock with safari works the same as the one in firefox. No issues what so ever.
combossss Not in iOS. Just on MacOS.
Russ , you paying your 75 dollars a month goes to your ISP, not the content creators / Ad persons wallet. Complaining about your price of internet has very little to do with blocking ads.
Don't sit on the fence bro ;)
If ads would stop being so creepy by looking through your cookies and displaying something relevant to your search history, I wouldn't have a problem.
I.E you visit a Nintendo help page because your Wii crashed and you get a Nintendo Switch ad four seconds later in youtube, that's pretty fucking creepy.
eh, i dont really mind it that much because its not a human that goes through your cookies, its a computer algorithm designed to display ads based on your search history. its like complaining about your phone being able to see the pictures saved in it
... i mean i still use adblock anyway but only because i dont like eye sores of ads polluting my web page
fuckin google listens and tells me to buy that but i bought it

I like how sites will tell you outright turn ad-block off before we let you view the site. I've found those websites to be the ones with the worst ads, and generally find another of the thousands of sites that offer the same content, but will allow me to use adblock. I specifically keep my ad-block off for YT, and a couple other sites I use regularly because the ads aren't over the top. I'll gladly watch (or more like go pee, get food, etc) a 30 second ad to support channels I like.
Funimation
That's why I use script blocker, so I can choose who and why they get through to me.

@Ethan Johnson I got it even worse. Before I was 9, I had a laptop. On that laptop, I wanted a screensaver of a talking parrot that would mimic what I would say. So I downloaded this program called Digital Talking Parrot. I hit the default install button, and then my PC was infected with a virus that changed my search engine to Goonsearch and made an ad with a naked woman in it appear on the search page. It even had audio! That was some pretty bad Adware. I think there was text below it that said something like "HOT WOMEN IN YOUR AREA!!!!!!!!11!!!111!" It's been many years since then.
Yo I'm here after Lines confused ad block with piracy. Yall don't think we're pirates right?
I'm not even sure whether there're so many ads in 1 page, but it's so satisfying to see a 3-digit number on the adblock icon at the browser
Hey here's a thought: Don't want people using AdBlock (like myself), then stop making ads so fucking intrusive!! Especially the type of ads that link themselves in random words in message boards and pop up every time you scroll.
Definitely. That's why Adblock has their "appropriate ads" campaign. Trying to encourage advertisers to create non intrusive ads so that they aren't a nuisance to users and still make money.
+ECDT1089 THOSE LINK ADS drove me NUTS when they were first introduced years ago... I went insane thinking that my household computers had been infected with Adware I couldn't find.

Skippable video ads are a necessity for youtube though... and unskippable ones should be okay as long they're not over 15s. The vast majority of TH-cam revenues come from video ads.
I'd rather support my favorite youtubers with patreon or something than watch repetitive stupid ads
Agreed. I'm much more likely to support my favorite content creators if they offer me the ability to support them willingly rather than shove 2 minutes worth of repetitive and potentially dangerous ads down my throat for a 30 second clip.
You can get an extension that will make those stupid ads related to you, then you don't have to be one of those bitches who use adblock.

I have never been more proud to use adblock than right now thanks to your comment... c:
Thats probably why more and more youtubers remove ads and include in video ads (e.g Loot Crate is a popular video sponsor), or patreon links. I dont mind ads, but the way most youtube ads work are pretty intrusive and bothersome, so I generally have ad block on, apart from marathons on my favourite channels.
Great content will always make money.
TH-cam: double ads, unskipable ads, 30 seconds ads.
Also youtube: *why are you people using adblock?*

Fixed that for ya
***** Well while what I said isn't true, it sucks that people can consume content for nothing without the creator getting anything, just because the viewer is too impatient to click a button after 5 seconds (or worst case scenario sit for 20-30 seconds). You watch their content, yet can't be bothered to support them to make more in the easiest way possible, which just comes across as so fucking entitled...
***** Okay, by your logic, I don't like paying bills so how about I just choose not to pay them, as that's my choice! For all intents and purposes the ad you watch on a video is your 'payment' to the site and uploader for it. Only difference is they can't stop you from not watching the ad, and there are no repercussions... for the viewer anyway.
I mean you seem like a reasonable person and I admit, I tend to get pretty salty whenever adblock is mentioned, but to put my thoughts more concise:
Why should the creator not get anything in return for your entertainment, especially when the only cost is a few seconds of your time?
I was joking guys stop the hate xD
Everyone's here now
What adblock does: Removes "FREE DOWNLOAD" malware ads.
What adblock doesn't do: Removes Linus style segways to sponsors
Yeah sponsorblock does that
There is Sponsorblock for that, in this video the last part is blocked
Here I have the solution for you, this might blow your mind but it's actually pretty simple. DONT MAKE OVER BEARING, UNSKIPPABLE, INTENTIONALLY HARD TO CLOSE, VIRUS RIDDEN ADS.
viruses in ads is the reason i will never EVER disable adblockers
I bet peaple who have too many ads probably find it impossible to clean there computer and just scrap it ads are there to destroy you hard earned computer I had a computer and the ads kept piling on till my computer was really slow and sluggish and I got annoyed once you clean and computer quickly downloaded this adblock and tell everyone about it you know because this saves your computer from dying
I use Ad-Block Plus as well, and it's been a blessing in disguise not to have ads shoved in my face. As far as virus go, the last virus protection program I had was "Vipre Antivirus". but I'm not paying nearly 30 bucks each subscription. I got rid of my anti-virus, and I haven't had a single virus since, which tells me the virus' are coming from the actual Anti-virus companies, to make you think the programs they're charging you reoccurring payments for, are doing their jobs! I don't care what this Corporate owned terrorist Government calls it, I CALL IT CORPORATE TERRORISM, and they should be treated as such!
I deactivated AdBlock on TH-cam a long time ago.
+DevilsCookies Same. I figure if I'm enjoying the content, they deserve the ad revenue. It's no worse than the ads you get on mainstream TV in most cases, and some of the film/game trailers are pretty cool to watch anyway.
+DevilsCookies good decision my friend
+DevilsCookies I would do it, but watching an hour long video, that includes 8 or 10 30s -1 minute ads, is really not an opinion.
+Veikka Hautala Never had an ad over 30 seconds that was not skippable after 5 seconds, you have a virus if it's anything above 35 seconds, and you might want to seek help on your computer.
Skripty Resources I know a lot about computers, even built my own gaming PC a month ago, so i am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with it.
I don't know if it has anything to do with what country you live in, but at least here in Finland the ads are almost everytime 30s to 1 minute, with usually no skip button and if there is, you'll have to wait for 10 to 15 seconds before you can skip, and when there are 5-10 ads in half hour video, it drives me absolutely crazy. I see enough ads while i watch TV, i want to be ad free at least in youtube.
AdBlock & Sponsorblock are always the first two extensions that I download whenever I install a new browser, No need to waste my time, I will pay for a patreon if I like your content, simple and more effective as opposed to playing multiple Ads

Dark I'd rarher hear someone sponsor something like how linus does because he doesn't make it annoying to the consumer
Rip.
lol starts with ”i‘m not gonna give you the 'i have to feed my family argument'“ - proceeds with ”i have to feed my employees“ arguments
Linus, you are full of it.
99.99% of the ads that are shown,I wouldn't buy the product anyway,so I see no problems blocking ads. I come to watch videos like Linus's to learn about a product which I am considering buying,that's all the ad I need to see. I am not going to sign up for some crap like freshbooks because I have absolutely no need for that and is a waste of my time to watch such an ad.So therefore I block the ads.
+Robert Floyd I have to agree that a good number of Linus' videos are about a product or number of them that I would consider buying so the whole video is almost an ad in itself. Related to how I get annoyed when I watch a movie trailer just to get an ad for another movie before it.
+Robert Floyd Advertising does work, and it works really well. That's why successful companies spend billions on it -- they know what they're doing. It's not just as simple as buying a product when you see an ad, it's putting a brand or a product into your memory by showing it to you over and over. You may never buy the product, or you may buy it months or years from now. Have you ever bought a Coke? How do you know advertising hasn't contributed to some of those decisions?
tmnsoon Yes I know advertising works. It has worked on me. But it is very hard to do anything now-a-days where there isn't some sort of advertising and I for one am tired of seeing it. So I block a few ads on you tube, they'll get over it.
+Robert Floyd let me put it this way, when you go to website or watch a youtube video with adblock the creator doesnt get any money from you visiting, now imagine everybody using adblock so now nobody is making any money off their hard work. Then they will stop showing it for free so you have to pay to see it, and then the free internett we enjoy today dies out. Now remeber this the next time you deside to turn on adblock
AdBlock understands this and that is why they have a set of acceptable guidelines such as no auto play videos or ads that cover content (option enabled by default). For those that do not abuse ads and if the AdBlock user does not disable this option then acceptable ad content is not blocked. One can find the specifics at adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads
I so much prefer the in-video advertising done by the creators. My problem with ads has nothing to do with the ads themselves...but rather the crappy computer I spend a lot of my time on. I have had numerous browser crashes on the PC I'm typing this from when I allowed ads. I also got malware from ads that ran on a sports website and a webcomic website...because the advertising platforms are not immune to being compromised. I love it when the channels I enjoy showcase the merch or talk about how I can save money on my mobile data plan...or my website expenses...or other things. That means that I am still supporting the people I like without having to put my computer either at risk, or into nasty performance mode. I don't have much money...and so don't tend to buy stuff...but hey, I don't buy stuff from the external ads either.
Well if you really HATE ads like me just dont care about other people, block all the ads. You can also just block virus ads
What did happen to i will not give you a sob story lol? This did not age well.
I'm going to be real with you Linus. I would much rather listen to you promote Freshbooks, than I would listen to Freshbooks put an ad on this video that I actually don't care about.
I'm watching this with adblock, my dude. And this new sponsorship stuff? I'm digging it way more than unpersonalized ads.
I wish ad-block existed on Cable TV.
BadAssBlackOverlord DVR
BadAssBlackOverlord It does, it's called the mute and/or change the channel buttons lol but really, I agree. I hope Netflix and such keep growing. The old way of consuming series is on its way out, I think. So many people desperately want to cut the cord, but it's just not the best option still for the majority of viewers.
BadAssBlackOverlord those Cable assholes make enough money to pay there expenses and make profits just off our monthly bills. then those fucks go and put an equal amount of time in ads as the shows length... 5 minutes of ads for 5 shows. its fuckin bullshit. i can't wait until it just becomes a thing where we can stream FX and other channels to media center PC's then have a version of linux thats like a normal cable providers OS. shit could be so much easier in life without wasting 60 minutes to watch a 30 minute show.
No offense, but who uses cable tv?
CarbonPhantom The network airing the commercial is the bastard not the cable company in that scenario. ABC,NBC etc all make fat stacks off of each subscriber of cable,dish etc and still airs commercials. Blame them
True Story:*Clicks on video**30 second unskipable ad to watch**Clicks another video**Another 30-second ad that you can't skip**Clicks 7 more videos**30-second unskipable ads on all**Installs adblock on all devices**Finally peace!*
Ehh, I've always been a pirate I guess. I would go to the bathroom during commercials all the time back in the television days. The first adblock was called "bathroom breaks". Lol.
This didn’t age well for Lienus
The risk of drive-by installs of malware is great enough to tip the balance in favor of blocking all ads. Because even saintly service providers do not have have 100% control over what kind of ads they get and malvertizing is a growing problem.
So I would much rather have a system like here where there are baked in ads that are free of malware.
Almost all the ad placements online these days are done automatically through a bidding process and ad content networks. That's how you end up with a message from the queen sitting next to a porn star on an adult entertainment site or something similar.
It blocks ads
done.
Luke V screw the 6:07 video. Linus could do it in 3 seconds!
I'd have preferred if he gave more info. I use adblock but turn it off when I watch subd content on principle. If someone earned my sub they deserve my advertising revenue. He could of told us whether or not skip ad gives content creators revenue or if that is just as bad for them.
I just got nitified by google after a pre-roll ad that since I turned off ad personalization, they did not use my personal data to show me this ad but ONLY data about the time of the day, the video i clicked on and MY LOCATION (country or CITY)
So how the _heck_ is that NOT using my personal data???
Because that's a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of profiling on you they do have.
Consider this, I took a Spanish class, and often googled the meaning of words of Spanish.
Sometimes I still do.
About 10% of the ads I get are in Spanish now.
But only when on TH-cam.
Google also knows I'm a gamer, and apparently I'm in desperate need of Johnson and Johnson products. Dunno why.
theres a sponsor block now so we can also skip sponsors to
You really should mention whitelisting! It's the perfect balance.
I don't get invasive or harmful ads from random pages I visit, and I simply tell Adblock not to block ads on my favourite sites so the still get revenue.
Sponsorships. If companies want to advertise, they use sponsorships. Because I am sick and tired of:
>Loud unskipable prerolls, especially when irrelevant to the video I am trying to watch
>Multiple ad popups
>Struggling to run HD video but the ad loaded perfectly in HD quickly
>Noisy or flashy ads, especially when you can't mute or stop the video
>Ads which intrude on the space of the website
>Ads which take so long to load the page times out
>Pop ups (unfortunately they haven't got rid of the "Join our mail list" or "Like us on Facebook" shit yet)
>Malicious ads that actually put software you don't wnat on your computer
>Trying to download and seeing 10 different download links, and the real link being the least obvious
>Ads, typically the type mentioned above, that fool less conscious people into clicking on them and installing the software
>etc etc
When ad makers improve their game, I may consider not using adblock. I don't give a shit aobut website maintenance and server costs, get your shitty, obnoxious, deceptive, malicious ads out of our face. We use the internet for the content, with ads on the side. Our experience shouldn't be hindered with *BUY THIS!!!!! CLICK THIS LINK!!!!!* That should not be what we use the internet for or the main experience. Advertisers need to make us want their product, not simply have the loudest, most annoying ad. And the fact that ads allow malicious people with malicious intent? No, I use adblock, no regrets.
that seamless transition to the ad though, DAMN! so smooth
"Nothing in life is free?" I dare you.
There is a ton of free stuff in this world 🤣😂 I'd hate to be in your shoes
I don't use adblock because I feel guilty that they don't get paid after putting in all of that hard work.
+MrPicklepod Are have been guild-tripped.. and wrongfully so.
You are not obliged to have a bad internet experience so that some people get money via dubious methods for their hobby. Because that is what it means if a job does is not viable as a source of income.. a hobby.
These hobbyists are already getting a lot for free. video hosting-space and bandwidth to start with. You don't owe them a god damn second of your time and if they want money for their "hard work" then they better properly sell it!
+Diggnuts "Hobbyist?" This is their job, this is how they work and pay the bills
SuperLemonadeGamer And their poor business decisions oblige me to alter my personal legal behavior and preferences how?
It could be your religion for all I care, I will not allow advertisement over my connection and on my screen, period!
I only use it on sketchy sites and wikis
+Cecil Holstein That's actually not how it works on TH-cam at all. On many websites it may work like that, but it works on a completely different system bases upon views of the add, and how long viewers watched the add.
I do not use addblock , but i am supporting several content creators in patreon that i really enjoy, for me that is the best way to help
+Claus Valca Row You're a good person, we need more people like you, you just earned an internet. Have a good day.
Good, it's not just me :)
+Victor Tran i only turn it off for linus
+Claus Valca Row Yes, don't use adblock so that way I can use it and websites won't go bankrupt. Thanks for supporting my convenience.
+Rolandas Grigaitis what i'm trying to say is that youtuber should complain less about adblock and try to experiment and move to other types of monetizations, it is the best for industry. No one like Adds and you youtubers should realize that, Besides with some options like patreon youtubers could mean more money since they don't have to pay a cut of the adds revenues to shitty and sometime abusive networks
Adblock is the best thing ever
personally i dont give even the smallest fraction of a ****** about "websites revenue" because the very fact that theyre still up means that theyre doing just fine (which he even kind of admits at 1:57)
If you're pirate and you know it clap your hands.
i wish ad block existed in real life
preach.
Every single asshole would be gone.
*damn good idea man*
"mom? why are there so many empty bill boards next to the road?"
"well honey we have adblock"
I am a crazy scientist madman who made adblock a real thing. Now to- AAAAAH, WHERE IS MY WIFE!
I can't help but notice that you didn't mention the fact that you can whitelist sites so their ads aren't blocked. If a site doesn't have annoying ads (like reddit), I whitelist them. If they still have the absolute worst ads imaginable (and potentially dangerous), they stay blocked. It's that simple.
I love hearing your amazing advert segways. They make the videos!
AdBlock, TH-cam Vanced, and now, SponsorBlock
My life is now complete
Ublock blocked 66 on this page ..........
***** nice
wingscancer AdBlock blocked 12
MrFuckingFX ad free video
wingscancer AdBlock blocked 16
***** well we have a winner
I saw the internet without adblock once it was awful. Never again will I disable it.
+Widdly Skuds same here. i used my friends chrome the other day and was like "what are these pictures all over the page" haha
Adblocking is not piracy linus
6:00 that transition is amazing.
Watching this video on my adblocked computer and going to get it on my phone.
+PabloBro Good job, we're all very proud of you.
I'll use 3 adblockers and Ghostery until the day I die.
Then you'll steal until the day you die, you idiot
zade elrod who the fuck cares? I’ll steal until the day I die if I have to watch ads.
@@zade9786 nope. He paid his Internet and his device. If you didn't came Clear with Mr. Google before making your Website, then is only your fault and only your problem.
Only one adblocker is enough. The other two will just slow down your browser, as they do exactly the same thing as the other two.
I would pick uBlock Origin as it is lightweight and libre software.
I would also use Privacy Badger instead of Ghostery for this reason.
@@zade9786, using an adblocker is not stealing. Blocking ads is legal.
TH-cam is the one that anoyes most with their ads before and in the middle of content. I am using it now for more then 12 years and i feel sooo relaxed without all those nonsence ads.
Holy sh- this was the SMOOTHEST transition to your ad section. To be honest it was such a shock I went back and watched it again!
Who's watching this with an ad blocker extension?
me
Definitely me.
Idiots
WE USE ADBLOCK CUZ WE DONT WANT ADS.
me
I actually watch the ads at the end of your video, that's how I heard about and signed up on lynda.com
Tronald Dump Did you use the skills your got from lynda.com to start up a business where you used freshbooks to manage it and squarespace to set up a website? If yes, did 5 months down the line you noticed that one of your employees computer's needed fixing so you bought an ifixit toolbox, and then realized you were too busy working on fixing the computer that you couldn't go out and buy any razors to shave, so you bought a subscription plan for dollar shave club? Did you then shave money, and shave time with the company you built beautiful?.
Thecawesomeone
hahahahahhaa comment of the year
+Thecawesomeone you missed phantom glass in there
+Thecawesomeone I think you won the internet.. Or at least the part of it where Linus is involved :D
I do not mind sponsor announcements, especially when the transition is so smooth
Note that adblockers don’t stop revenue, they just prevent lazy or malicious ads from leaking onto your screen. If you truely want to help people then help them by making them have to learn to work harder for that ad revenue.
FULL VOLUME AUDIO ADS ARE WHY IM GETTING ADBLOCK BECAUSE IT'S KEEPING ME FROM MY ANIMEEEE
Caps e.e
good for you
That end transition though...
Smooth as fuck
I love how there are sponsor blocks on this video. TH-cam Vanced gang.
The end segue to the sponsor was pure gold compared to some of the newer ones.
I use ad block but I Whitelist the content I actually enjoy like TH-cam for example
Whats your fav ad block software?
SuperiorZeeko i might do that
I use the chrome ad block extension and no coin
@tieuquy linthinh uBlock Origin is better.
@@lething1237 hmm let me check that u coin stuff
i watch your videos on my phone, and on there i dont have adblock
i think you deserve the money from the ads
I use "adblock" on TH-cam., and it's NOT because I don't want ads. I'm 61 years old, I'm used to ads on free content (TV, Radio). So i have NO PROBLEM with ads, my problem is the RANDOMNESS of the placement. Usually, TH-cam will toss an ad IN THE MIDDLE of the sentence of what the "TH-camr" is saying, BREAKING THE "FLOW". Ads on "ordinary" TV or Radio have HUMANS who break content at NATURAL breaks. This is why I don't mind ads that are IN THE CONTENT...
i clicked on this video, and now theres an 11 symbol next to my ABP extension.
On mine there are 76
