After fifteen years, I cancelled my Netflix last year. Don’t miss it at all.
I think all these streaming platforms forget that not all of us need to watch their content 24/7. I spend less than an hour watching television a day while eating food and that’s it.
Did you know that you can still enjoy Youtube ad-free (or the occasional 10-second skippable ad). How do you do it? By not watching youtube at all aside from the random how-to video. Since I watch less than an hour of youtube a month on average, I see essentially zero ads.
I will literally go out of my way to see an ad. I have stopped watching TV, except some HBO but avoid paying. I am searching random questions or products in incognito so my regular chrome isn’t garage ads.
I watched a TV in a public space last week. The show was sped up and packed with ads. I watched more ads then show in 20 min.
TOTALLY get it. I’ve gone as far as blocking ads at the router-level so I don’t see ads browsing the internet or using apps on my phone inside my network. Plus I have ublock origin to help catch any extra ads that sneak through the router block.
To say I see no ads is an understatement. The only reason why I know about the “he gets us” ads is because I hear people complain about them. Not once have I seen one hahaha.
I wish to break my youtube addiction. Every night I end up going down rabbit holes with a “just one more” attitude that would make a gambling addict blush.
The way I got around ads was adblockers and the like. Or using the new piped website. But honestly, I wish that I had the will that you have to just drop it and never use it again.
