What youtube ads, I haven't seen one in years, fortunately.

I have to see them at school all the time, because our ~~teacher's~~ teachers don't bother installing adblockers.

teacher's

Now I'm doubly disappointed in your teachers.

Woopsie! That's what 7 years of Dutch grammar does to you.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

EDIT: Woops, got confused myself

The plural -s in Dutch only gets an apostrophe if the stem word ends on an open vowel. So it's cavia-cavia's on the one hand, but kikker-kikkers on the other (and la[de]-lades). So even in Dutch this'd be incorrect ;)

Teacher here. My school uses everything Chrome OS and locks the ability to install extensions or other browsers. It's not always us.

Use Firefox Mobile and ublock origin it will block ads on mobile

When I watch YouTube on the Roku in my bedroom I see ads and it's terrible. If I see a 30 second ad I go back and hit play again, usually I have to do that two or three times and then I get a 5-second skippable ad. Even then I'm often only two or three minutes into the video before it plays another ad.

One reason I switched to android TV.

Me neither, as I don't use YouTube at all.
