I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.

      I’ve a Good news for you then you can achieve that for free. Since 2018 I’ve only seen ads only a handful of times and even that was because I was watching TV with my family on my sibling’s “smart TV”.

      My setup, unlockorigins on web browser and next DNS on phone, also instead of YouTube use newpipe or even better tubular (tubular is just a fork of newpipe with sponsor block) and I pirate all the movies and TV shows.

          Oh look at this fancy pants here they have a real life maybe even friends. Stop bragging about it.

          Jokes aside, I don’t mind real life ads (billboards) I enjoy reading them. It’s like a fun game in my head. OK it might not be fun.

      I know many sports games a lot of the adverts are imposed digitally before broadcast. I don’t watch a lot of sports, but I would certainly enjoy watching more if there were an option to disable the added adverts.
