"sandskinnedhippie" makes a sadpost about having debts, $1 in the bank, living in their car, not being able to get a job because of a DUI blah blah blah :marseybeggar: :marseycrying: :marseywords:

Fellow poors notice she has a YouTube Premium subscription

EDIT 4: Some people are asking and criticizing why I paid for YouTube at one point, why am I rejecting donations, etc. Listen. I'm an imperfect human being. I made all kinds of bad decisions in my life , especially financially, and ultimately contributed to my own suffering. I brought myself here. I wasn't a good son or brother to my family. I'm not incapable of redemption, but I strongly feel I don't deserve that kind of help people are offering. Please just respect my decision. I will be ok. This suffering will pass. And there are many out there who are suffering more than I am. But thank you to those of you who are leaving kind and thoughtful words as well as practical advice (which I will follow and need). Thank you.

Bro get the frick up out of here. Seriously. You don't know what the frick work I've been putting in lately. Yes I made mistakes and I'm owning up to it. I've still got interviews lined up next week. And I had an interview at Lowe's today. Quit judging like a peepeehead and acting like you know my character. I'm not out here begging for money. I was merely venting, mind you after a full day of applying and going in person to places. Don't know what the frick is with you judgmental pricks, acting like you've never made mistakes in your life. Get off your high horse

Big brain poorcel :marseybigbrain: has an ingenious way to save like $2 monthly on their luxury

Just use free vpn and make new YouTube account based out of South Africa. Comes out to like $4 a month. Don't have to use the vpn anymore once it's created. Can do this for many streaming services. India is typically the cheapest but YouTube cracked down on that one

Several redditors too fricking r-slurred to spend 30 seconds installing adblock insist that YouTube is UNUSABLE because of all the ads and they simply need YouTube as their sole source of entertainment (:surejan:) because it's the only escape from their life of constant misery :cry:

Me and I'm on disability.

Youtube is basically my only source of entertainment and I can't stand how many ads a single video will have nowadays

It's not a little ad, it is 80% ads, it's literally unusable without premium.

I decided to get it last week. I don't have any other streaming services and have been using YouTube exclusively for about a year for entertainment. They have increased the number of ads to the point that it is ridiculous. I was watching a 30 odd minute video and averaged about 3 ads that I could not skip about every 4 to 5 minutes. I haven't used the music part yet, but when I go back to work on Tuesday I'll have something thing to listen to at my desk.

No thanks. Then I can't have it on my Xbox or TV.

Which I use to help escape from my shit disease.

Is it a coincidence that people who can't find jobs or manage their finances would rather pay monthly fees than type "adblock" into Google and click a button to install? :marseynooticeglow: :marseywrongthonk:

Youtube premium is probably the easiest thing not to pay for.

Or just go on the :marseyvaxxtroll: part of YouTube where there's no ads because none wants to be associated with the video

I'm constantly shocked by how few people know about ad blockers. Even when I tell others about adblock, it somehow leaves their brains after 15 seconds even though it would vastly improve their internet experience.

:#marseybrainlet:

This is OK though. If everyone was using blockers the big internet companies might actually do something about them, so I'll keep doing what I'm doing and let everyone else deal with the nonsense.

It's not expensive to be poor. It's expensive to be stupid.

Youtube has less ads than TV used to. People didn't b-word about it then, we just got up from the couch to eat more so we could continue bulkmaxxing unlike these skinny little skelecels.
