I see ads all the time for shit like consumer Cellular, mint mobile, stuff that rents time on Verizon towers and sells you a plan for like half the price.
I’m trying real hard to de-Xfinity myself but the cellular plan is the cheapest of all the major companies. Yes, I know they also piggyback off the Verizon network, but at least they have 24/7 support
My software configuration is such that whenever I see a YouTube ad on some stranger’s device it is a violently disturbing event
Like wtf why does YouTube have ads now, these are really obnoxious
I’m not savvy enough to do all that. Let’s put it this way, I legitimately floated the idea of YouTube premium before trying to figure the complication that is configuring a different software setup for my entire network just to avoid the ads.
It is just uBlock origin, not some crazy thing
But yes I actually paid for Premium for like a couple of years; it is actually one of the most impactful in my experience in terms of those little “give us $7/mo to improve your internet in some minor way” services
