So I am wondering how to be bad at using websites such as YouTube. For example, currently I do most of my youtube viewing on a Ruko Tv, where I never sign it, never comment, and never subscribe. When I select a video and an advertisement that is longer than 5 seconds shows up I will hit the back button and select the video again. I repeat this process till I get a the 5 sec ad or the video starts.

I assume this is not how google (or YouTubers) wish me to access their platform, but is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?

    Nebula is a decent way to be bad at youtube. They don’t have too many people on it at the moment, but there are some decent ones. And at least they get a cut.

      I like the idea and even subscribed for a time, but their videos just kept buffering for me whereas YouTube is fine even at 1440p :( I’d love to support them and their content creators, but i’m not paying for a product that doesn’t work.
