I am always amazed how people know that adblock exists, is literally one click away, even have it installed in another browser and the like, but still choose to use the shitty app or chrome with all the ads. And then get annoyed when there are more ads than content.
I just don’t understand it. Really. Why? That is like punching yourself in the dick and then complaining that it hurts.
Inertia mostly, people are lazy. If they’re family or friends, install uBlock origin for them and they’ll probably thank you. You can, as an alternative, ask them to use brave browser instead (after disabling the annoyances), it’s chromium-based so the functionality is identical plus it blocks ads.
If it’s android, they’ll mostly use the app. If you want to get them to use NewPipe or Grayjay, tell them it can play audio when you close the app without having to pay for YouTube premium (yes that’s a thing)
If they’re not friends or family, forget about it. You can give a light suggestion I guess.

They literally have firefox with ublock origin installed (which I installed) and still choose to use chrome - and then complain about the fucking ads
I’ve been gently saying hey, if you hate so it so much, you know there is another browser with adblock right next to it? But so far, no results.
