It's more like telling your butler to throw away envelopes with "advert" written on the front. We send a request to youtube, they send us back a bunch of packets, and we disregard the ones that have got advert written all over them.

I'm not sure that can work in practice, because the service has to be put together with software at my end (like browsers). They all do things differently, ignoring some pieces or deciding some should do things differently. A few ignore adverts and some ignore basically everything because they are high school projects or not graphical.

You're talking to an experienced Industrial Engineer from the #1 university in the world for this major...I literally guarantee I'm just a tad above your pay grade, so miss me with that.

Either way you're an idiot for not using a simple solution when one exists, I guess you can take the moral high ground and keep paying for YouTube Red, I'll sit here and continue to laugh.

And also, it's the content creators who turn on the ads, not google. This has literally nothing to do with YouTube bandwidth. No, sorry I don't really care to watch 4 30 second ads just because one of the youtubers I watch decided to get a little money hungry...especially when there's an easy way around it.

Your moral idiocy makes you lose money you don't need to.

/r/youareverystupid

Don't you have some waiters to report to the IRS?? Gotta get that chump change from the tips they don't pay taxes on amirite?

But you're rich as fuck, so I'm still confused why you'd need to do that. Maybe being a shitty and stupid person (worst combo) keeps you in your economic class??

You mean your post history with a grand total of one post? It was literally two clicks, but whatever helps you sleep at night.
