I don’t mind adverts for free services but YouTube take the piss now.
And Amazon. Paying Prime members still have to watch ads.
What ticks me off is Stack TV. I pay for it and I still get huge ads on the bottom and right edges, telling me to subscribe to Stack TV.
Same in UK for Sky. You have to be a Sky TV customer (paying) to use the Android or iOS Sky Go app and it still makes you watch adverts without skipping.
If you’re seeing ads on YouTube, you’re doing it wrong.
Tenor had a good video guide of how to skip ads for short videos on YouTube with link changes. I used it to Rick Roll a friend once, not sure if it still works, though: https://media.tenor.com/x8v1oNUOmg4AAAAM
you motherfu-
I know theres a github page. I believe its shatterdisk? When i was in school they firewalled youtube. So i found alternatives to rick roll.
Where there is a rick roll There is a rick way
You aren’t doing youtube correctly.
PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube
Mobile: revanced, newpipe
Honestly, I have Firefox + ublock origin in Mobile too
and sponsorblock 👌
I have all 3 options on mobile as well
Same.
How does one Rick roll people who don’t do YouTube correctly, which is most everyone?
Those people? We don’t interact with those people.
Touché
Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers
I give up, this has really let me down.
I run around, and desert YouTube.
Gave you the runaround?
I can’t believe I’m about to suggest this, but use a YouTube short version since those don’t have ads.
Tenor’s has a guide that shows you how to make a full video link into a Shorts style link to not have ads at the beginning: https://media.tenor.com/x8v1oNUOmg4AAAAM
Nice! May I recommend you share that with all of our professional rickrollers? (Or may I share it there?)
Go for it!
I’ve literally rickrolled thousands of people and i didn’t hesitate for a second to click on that link. wow. (﹏;)
Wow, a legitimate use case for shorts.
Thank you. I needed this.
Omg did you just reinvent YouTube?!?
