  • YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

Not OP but I use the arr family of services (Sonarr and Radar, though there are more) and NZBGet as my downloader.

Lol NZBGet is not typically used for getting free content.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

It’s one of the preconfigured downloaders for sonarr and radarr which is really a fancy front page for adding media from usenet? So, I would disagree.

Well... if your idea of "free" content is something you don't pay for then yes, but if your idea of free content is something that was intended to be distributed for "free" then no.

Is it free if it supported by ads?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

People don't use NZBGet for that reason. It is literally a platform & distribution model primarily intended for pirating content in a way that is much quicker and more reliable than torrents. Usenet would probably have died without NZBs.
