Not OP, but I watch on an NVidia Shield (Android). AS far as I know I'll have to set up something on a Raspberry Pi, or something like that. No adkiller plugins on the youtube app, for obvious reasons.

Use an ad blocking browser or browser plugin. I use the Brave browser and it blocks ads on youtube. I think ublock origin does as well. You could also subscribe to youtube premium to stop the ads. I haven't seen one yet, but my mailbox seems to get a stack of postcards every day. At least the printers are making some money.

can confirm ublock origin blocks ads you just gotta set the kb high enough

i set mine to block anything above 19000 kb and it blocks pretty much all youtube ads, but the ones that slip through go away with a quick refresh

Replying to [deleted] (#88,151)

The only political mail I acknowledge past the dumpster is the odd election-year letter from my local group of Democratic state representatives saying "hi neighbor" and offering a few policy positions. (I haven't gotten anything similar recently from the local Republican candidates for state rep, even as an officially-undeclared voter, but if I did, I'd skim that too.)

That's what political mailers ought to be, but higher-level races naturally encourage more fuckery (out-of-state funding, PACs running the sort of uninformative hot-garbage ads we all hate) because of the scale of the operation and the stakes involved, especially in something like a US Senate race where our choice (or another purple state's) could seriously affect the entire country.

Edit: I agree with you, as well, that I'm currently *extra-*glad to have effective adblocking. What Adblock Plus doesn't grab, uMatrix stops in its tracks; though it's occasionally a nuisance to have to give the latter the okay for new sites, it beats being bombarded with something loud and flashing. I really only ever see ads that're hosted on the same site (usually on local news articles) unless I've allowed 'em for a particular domain.

I still watch legacy TV and the ads are ridiculous. Surprisingly, I see WAY more ads for Maggie than for Bolduc. I thought she was pretty safe in this race and wouldn't need to run so many ads.

Or maybe she just has a huge amount of money to spend. I dunno.

I like politics, I think it's interesting and important. I also think it's far too toxic, so I don't get to discuss it as much as I'd like without angering or frustrating people.

I was watching Louis Rossman, and he made a pretty good point that you are better off just donating a single dollar directly to content creators you enjoy rather than subscribing to YT premium because the cut that content creators make is so small even for premium views that a dollar is far beyond whatever they would get paid for your views, like all of your views forever.

This is suggesting he flipped to thinking it's a state issue. And implies previous support of Graham's federal bill (with no quote suggesting that).

But regardless, Graham's bill made exceptions

BRAND SPANKING NEW
r/NewHampshire_ sub. New Hampshire with an underscore. Because the original NewHampshire sub got commandeered by Freestaters (ironic, right?)
A Brand **spanking** new sub for all your New Hampshire wants and needs
Pros:
-Not overwhelmed with "massholes" or whatever state you wish to demonize (I'm particular to Maine, myself, but you do you)
-Not overwhelmed with posts of "I want to move to NH and I am looking for a single family home on 6 acres with easy access to public transportation for under $200k" (aka... unicorn seekers)
-Politics are OK. They are an inherent part of living in NH. And they are important, as they impact us all. In fact, at least 1 mod will be lefty and at least 1 mod will be righty (once we get numbers up and people volunteer to MOD). I'd like to have a handful of mods so that the power doesn't rest in the hands of ONE individual (like with r/newhampshire). Freestaters will be allowed to post but not MOD. Because unlike with r/NewHampshire, freestaters will not control this sub nor ban members for (rightfully) bashing freestaters.
-Will have a bipartisan MOD group when possible, so all sides are equally represented (much like our purple state)
-Foliage/nature pics are always encouraged (because our state is beautiful, show it loud and proud!)
-Keep in mind that you are speaking to your fellow neighbors when you are posting; please be civil, be polite
Cons:
-Not moderated by one freestater, who has better things to do like argue that the age of consent should be 0
-Not overrun by bears
-Will not encourage NH voting to secede from the US
-Will not encourage selling Gunstock to Vail
