    According to my kids there’s a few flash game sites like y8 (perhaps not flash, IIRC that got killed off, but you get the idea) where you’re blocked for adblocking. As soon as I have white listed a site they’ll find a new one. So they have ublock origin installed, but permanently switched off.

    And for some reason at least one kid actually likes youtube ads smh

      Kids these days with their loving ads and what not. I came from a simpler time where we hated ads with a passion. :shakes fist:

      just buy the kids minecraft and get them away from that other crap ;P

      the yt ads thing is bonkers though. i actually don’t mind occasional ads in like, streaming movies because its a nice pre-planned break point and you don’t have to actually hit pause…but youtube ads are worse than anything i remember from cable and somehow the personalization makes them all repetitive.

        My 2 year old knows how to hit the okay button on the remote when the Skip ad badge turns white.

        Everyone hates commericals.
