@sjw Does watching a video through mps or Invidious count as piracy? It's technically not adblock.

@xianc78 @sjw Yes, just like the mute button is piracy.

The copyright system we have retards the advance of the useful arts and funds diversity hires. Don ‘t just use invidious, promote invidious and other methods of direct defunding.

Pirate the shit out of everything and donate directly to creators who matter.

@xianc78 @sjw Technically, adblock is not piracy, and it's also not considered piracy if you watch video via vlc or mpv because you don't download videos or put them in other parts of the internet (of course, if this prohibition is included in the license agreement)
But the license does not provide for everything, and here at the discretion of YouTube it will be piracy, because in the first place when you put a video on YouTube, it becomes the property of YouTube, and it has the right to add any advertising on your video, even against your principles, an example I sometimes watched a blogger who was talking about illegal advertising casinos on YouTube, and there was advertising from YouTube on scam project.
If you watch from this point of view it will be considered piracy even if you watch from mpv videos and not from youtube web client because analytics and ads will not work (which is what youtube makes money on)!
@xianc78 actually watch the video to find out you fucking faggot
