Okay, that was the single greatest post-roll ad transisition in the history of videos, ever.

Running ads at the end of the video is great for the viewer. I wonder if companies pay less for those types of ads.

That was the best Segway in any LTT video ever, bar none. Good job Linus!

I have won Iphone X so many times(even though I'm not a fan of apple) while just causally browsing the internet, But never got any.

I will always use adblock. If all ads were like on reddit for example then fine but 99.99% of ads are annoying and/or scams/viruses/malware/spyware. For this reason I see no logical incentive to stop using it and no, I don't feel guilty at all. I think that if you put malicious/annoying ads on your site, you are the one that should feel guilty, not us.

I turned off Adblock on KZfaq once...I'm surprised I made it out alive.. Never again..

The KZfaq algorithm recommending this today doesn't feel like a coincidence

The problem is, you try to 'play the game' by not blocking, and you get continual incessant interruption to the point where the content is ruined.

I use Adblock and will continue to do so. It's annoying with: -Popups -Casino commercial (they're everywhere!) -"Horny women looking for men" commercial -Videoads on pages that goes full blast audio when you hover your mouse over it. -Trailers that spoil movies And more. If commercials were more modest and less "In your face!", I wouldn't block them. But now I do. I'd rather pay by Patreon to support the ones I subscribe. Feels like you're getting more in return and can join a cleaner and more intreated community that way.

I have never bought anything directly because of an ad online..

Welcome to a new episode of "Internet doesn't Forget"

Why is this in my recommended after Linus called us pirates.

I use AdBlock on Sam Pepper's channel.

I don't dislike ads, my only problem is with disruptive ads.

Where was the section of the video that said adblocking was literally the same as piracy? Lololol

ADblock is the best thing ever invented

I will enable Ads if that fucking 50 second-unskipable "How to lose 10KG in one week" ad stops showing I'M SKINNY AS FUCK WHY DO I NEED TO WATCH THE WHOLE 50 SECOND!

that transition to the sponsor message is smooth af

came here after the whole "adblock is piracy" thing

Why is this recommended right after your tweet about adblocking being piracy..

The guy who invented adblock should get a Nobel award. I fucking love it and not disabling it no matter how many youtube channels fall.

There is no valid argument against ad-blocking if your ads are obtrusive and invasive. Make better ads & customers won’t block them.

why i use adblock: 1. ads are usually disruptive and intrusive to the point where it lowers the quality of the website 2. ads usually contain scams and viruses 3. i also dont support the practice of profiting off of showing people malicious ads 4. some ads are inappropriate to show to younger people 5. advertisers make about 10 cents per person who see their ad so one person disabling their adblocker really wont make a difference anyway 6. i paid for my internet and ill do what i want with it once the internet stops having ads like the ones i described in reasons 1-4 i wont have a need for adblock anymore, but until then i will have NO shame using adblock wherever i go. its the advertisers own fault im doing this

KZfaq recommended this to me and I thought it was a topical new video

I was completely fine with KZfaq ads UNTIL they started playing a commercial before the videos that you had to watch for a certain time. That's when I got AdBlock.

As soon as you can garantee that these braindead adservers stop spewing malware, I'll consider removing adblocking. This is not about paying content creators. This is like publishing you bank data with content creators promising no one will abuse that. It's on you, the content creators, the websites operators and the adservers to weed out malware. As long as you don't, ads get blocked. It's as simple as that.

Fun Fact: When this video was made the revenue of LTT was greatly depended on AdSense and other kind of Google adds(if there any other kind of, ofc). Now, since LTT has grew up significantly LTT can easily makes money from other sources such as sponsored contents, merch and etc. TLDR: It makes more sense for Linus in this video to call using adblocks piracy than today's Linus.

funny i get this recommended to me now

If the browser won't let me use AdBlock i don't use that browser

i use adblock because I dont pay my internet service provider to watch auto ads streaming.

adblock is good when it's not my content getting adblocked

Who's here after Linus called us all pirates. Still love you Linus, but blocking ads is not piracy or copyright infringment. No one has an obligation to listen to our ads 💕 I do pay for youtube prem so you get my pennies.

If ads would stop being so creepy by looking through your cookies and displaying something relevant to your search history, I wouldn't have a problem. I.E you visit a Nintendo help page because your Wii crashed and you get a Nintendo Switch ad four seconds later in youtube, that's pretty fucking creepy.

Watching this while having my glorious AdBlock on and in full force. Mmmmmm, my delicious AdBlock!

im shocked he didnt just say its piracy. Weird how his opinion seemed to change as he started to get paid from ads

I like how sites will tell you outright turn ad-block off before we let you view the site. I've found those websites to be the ones with the worst ads, and generally find another of the thousands of sites that offer the same content, but will allow me to use adblock. I specifically keep my ad-block off for YT, and a couple other sites I use regularly because the ads aren't over the top. I'll gladly watch (or more like go pee, get food, etc) a 30 second ad to support channels I like.

Hey here's a thought: Don't want people using AdBlock (like myself), then stop making ads so fucking intrusive!! Especially the type of ads that link themselves in random words in message boards and pop up every time you scroll.

i turned off adblock once. And some guy with a lamborghini showed up.

KZfaq: double ads, unskipable ads, 30 seconds ads. Also youtube: *why are you people using adblock?*

Everyone's here now

I'd rather support my favorite youtubers with patreon or something than watch repetitive stupid ads

I don't use adblock. I use adblock plus.

I'm not even sure whether there're so many ads in 1 page, but it's so satisfying to see a 3-digit number on the adblock icon at the browser

This is so funny after the recent linus adblock controversy 😂

When you get an ad on a video about adblock

I love Adblock

lol starts with ”i‘m not gonna give you the 'i have to feed my family argument'“ - proceeds with ”i have to feed my employees“ arguments

Yo I'm here after Lines confused ad block with piracy. Yall don't think we're pirates right?

Here I have the solution for you, this might blow your mind but it's actually pretty simple. DONT MAKE OVER BEARING, UNSKIPPABLE, INTENTIONALLY HARD TO CLOSE, VIRUS RIDDEN ADS.

I so much prefer the in-video advertising done by the creators. My problem with ads has nothing to do with the ads themselves...but rather the crappy computer I spend a lot of my time on. I have had numerous browser crashes on the PC I'm typing this from when I allowed ads. I also got malware from ads that ran on a sports website and a webcomic website...because the advertising platforms are not immune to being compromised. I love it when the channels I enjoy showcase the merch or talk about how I can save money on my mobile data plan...or my website expenses...or other things. That means that I am still supporting the people I like without having to put my computer either at risk, or into nasty performance mode. I don't have much money...and so don't tend to buy stuff...but hey, I don't buy stuff from the external ads either.

This didn’t age well for Lienus

What did happen to i will not give you a sob story lol? This did not age well.

I deactivated AdBlock on KZfaq a long time ago.

It blocks ads done.

I just got nitified by google after a pre-roll ad that since I turned off ad personalization, they did not use my personal data to show me this ad but ONLY data about the time of the day, the video i clicked on and MY LOCATION (country or CITY) So how the _heck_ is that NOT using my personal data???

can't believe how good it is...the best ever ad block I've seen...

I wish ad-block existed on Cable TV.

I want adblock since I simply just don't care about annoying ads and there companies

Linus, you are full of it.

What adblock does: Removes "FREE DOWNLOAD" malware ads. What adblock doesn't do: Removes Linus style segways to sponsors

I will always use adblock on every channel, every web page, everything on the internet.

The risk of drive-by installs of malware is great enough to tip the balance in favor of blocking all ads. Because even saintly service providers do not have have 100% control over what kind of ads they get and malvertizing is a growing problem. So I would much rather have a system like here where there are baked in ads that are free of malware.

"Nothing in life is free?" I dare you.

Ehh, I've always been a pirate I guess. I would go to the bathroom during commercials all the time back in the television days. The first adblock was called "bathroom breaks". Lol.

Ublock blocked 66 on this page ..........

i wish ad block existed in real life

theres a sponsor block now so we can also skip sponsors to

that seamless transition to the ad though, DAMN! so smooth

I can't help but notice that you didn't mention the fact that you can whitelist sites so their ads aren't blocked. If a site doesn't have annoying ads (like reddit), I whitelist them. If they still have the absolute worst ads imaginable (and potentially dangerous), they stay blocked. It's that simple.

I'll use 3 adblockers and Ghostery until the day I die.

AdBlock & Sponsorblock are always the first two extensions that I download whenever I install a new browser, No need to waste my time, I will pay for a patreon if I like your content, simple and more effective as opposed to playing multiple Ads

I'm going to be real with you Linus. I would much rather listen to you promote Freshbooks, than I would listen to Freshbooks put an ad on this video that I actually don't care about. I'm watching this with adblock, my dude. And this new sponsorship stuff? I'm digging it way more than unpersonalized ads.

Who's watching this with an ad blocker extension?

99.99% of the ads that are shown,I wouldn't buy the product anyway,so I see no problems blocking ads. I come to watch videos like Linus's to learn about a product which I am considering buying,that's all the ad I need to see. I am not going to sign up for some crap like freshbooks because I have absolutely no need for that and is a waste of my time to watch such an ad.So therefore I block the ads.

I love hearing your amazing advert segways. They make the videos!

Adblock is the best thing ever

You really should mention whitelisting! It's the perfect balance. I don't get invasive or harmful ads from random pages I visit, and I simply tell Adblock not to block ads on my favourite sites so the still get revenue.

That end transition though...

6:00 that transition is amazing.

Holy sh- this was the SMOOTHEST transition to your ad section. To be honest it was such a shock I went back and watched it again!

I use ad block but I Whitelist the content I actually enjoy like KZfaq for example

True Story:*Clicks on video**30 second unskipable ad to watch**Clicks another video**Another 30-second ad that you can't skip**Clicks 7 more videos**30-second unskipable ads on all**Installs adblock on all devices**Finally peace!*

I do not mind sponsor announcements, especially when the transition is so smooth

KZfaq is the one that anoyes most with their ads before and in the middle of content. I am using it now for more then 12 years and i feel sooo relaxed without all those nonsence ads.

Sponsorships. If companies want to advertise, they use sponsorships. Because I am sick and tired of: >Loud unskipable prerolls, especially when irrelevant to the video I am trying to watch >Multiple ad popups >Struggling to run HD video but the ad loaded perfectly in HD quickly >Noisy or flashy ads, especially when you can't mute or stop the video >Ads which intrude on the space of the website >Ads which take so long to load the page times out >Pop ups (unfortunately they haven't got rid of the "Join our mail list" or "Like us on Facebook" shit yet) >Malicious ads that actually put software you don't wnat on your computer >Trying to download and seeing 10 different download links, and the real link being the least obvious >Ads, typically the type mentioned above, that fool less conscious people into clicking on them and installing the software >etc etc When ad makers improve their game, I may consider not using adblock. I don't give a shit aobut website maintenance and server costs, get your shitty, obnoxious, deceptive, malicious ads out of our face. We use the internet for the content, with ads on the side. Our experience shouldn't be hindered with *BUY THIS!!!!! CLICK THIS LINK!!!!!* That should not be what we use the internet for or the main experience. Advertisers need to make us want their product, not simply have the loudest, most annoying ad. And the fact that ads allow malicious people with malicious intent? No, I use adblock, no regrets.

I don't use adblock because I feel guilty that they don't get paid after putting in all of that hard work.

I had to pause the video at 1:21. Ads like that are so ingrained in me, that I got the heeby geebies just from clicking the screen lmao

it's been so long since the last time i watched tv that i wondered why my adblocker wasn't working when a commercial popped up

Watching this video on my adblocked computer and going to get it on my phone.

I saw the internet without adblock once it was awful. Never again will I disable it.

This is, to this day, linus' most smooth segway ever

If you're pirate and you know it clap your hands.

FULL VOLUME AUDIO ADS ARE WHY IM GETTING ADBLOCK BECAUSE IT'S KEEPING ME FROM MY ANIMEEEE

I actually watch the ads at the end of your video, that's how I heard about and signed up on lynda.com

that was the smoothest segway to a sponsor ever

Adblocking is not piracy linus

My Adblock never seems to work on Linus' videos. Anyone got any suggestions?

adblock 4 life

I usually click on the ads to support creators like you :)

AdBlock, KZfaq Vanced, and now, SponsorBlock My life is now complete
