    I don’t see any mention of the YouTube adblock trick, so from the vid:

    Copy YouTube URL. Paste it in Bing and search. Scroll passed Bing’s sponsored bullshit and click on the thumbnail for the video you searched. It will then play, still in Bing, with no ads.

    So if you’re on a work or government or w/e computer that doesn’t allow installing adblock extensions, there ya go. No downloads or anything, just YouTube and Bing.

     

    …this is the first time I’ve ever had any interest in using Bing, lol.

      There’s a chance duckduckgo does something similar, but sadly I can’t check at the moment.

      Leaving a comment so I remember to try it later—unless anyone reading is willing to do so.

        You have to understand shit like these thumbsnails arent made for people like you and me.

        They are made for the mindless horde of sub-intellectual gremlins who are incapable of rational, independent thought. The kind that run out and put sandpaper on their windshield wipers and microwave their phones to “fast recharge” them because they saw a video that said to do that.

        and the sad, terrifying reality, is these mentally stunted little goblins outnumber us by margins that are too terrifying to even think about.
