I'll take care to give them 0$ from now on.

They think it's funny to throttle my connection because I'm using an ad blocker with Firefox.

I think it's funny to max my bandwidth playing videos through VLC and other non web browser front ends.

I've been far more petty, but it's the little things that keep me going. Force ads, I will force blockers. Force throttling, I will force my bandwidth. Once your site is fully enshittified I just leave. I don't care. I figure this is the last few usage I'll get of YouTube so enjoy it and fuck trying to save it.
