did you just never use ad-block or something?

I like to support content creators. And no, I don't want to have to sign up for the Patreon accounts of every single YouTube user I like the videos of.

Unless you really liked being tracked, cataloged and analyzed, I recommend you use ad blocking even though you're using YouTube Red.

It's not advertising. It's advertracking. YouTube red removes the "advertising" part, but the "tracking" part stays. (Yes, Google could, and probably do, track you through an adblocker while you are on YouTube. But why tracking easy for them and everyone else?)

Doesn't work when chromecasting.
