    Capitalism 101: cause a problem. Get paid for the solution.

    Also ignore any collateral or conscience.

        Force close the app and clear the cache, that fixes it for me.

        Same for me, revanced takes what feels like an entire minute or more before starting playback. And quality settings are not available. Is there a revanced community here on Lemmy?

    I watched MST3K recently (a show that clearly denotes when classic network commercials would come on)

    They mentioned commercials AFTER YouTube had already shown a 1 minute ad break.

    We are late for a competitor.

    We pay YouTube not to shows ads, then youtubers imbed ads in videos. So we pay to watch ads.

    I don’t pay and don’t get ads either. Stop being a sucker. Yes, I am fine with them going bankrupt if everyone would do that.

    Google:

    A screenshot from the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia where the character Ronald “Mac” McDonald tells Deandra “Sweet Dee” Reynolds: “I’m playing both sides, so that I always come out on top.”
