I hate this idea. FM channels have more advertisements than they have music. And there's no technical way (yet) that I know of to automatically block said advertisements. Advertisements have driven the world into madness, as now anything that requires them to stay profitable either jams them into everything, or has a huge focus on rage-bait in order to get people to listen/watch/click. This rage-bait has made our world more angry, more divisive, and more chaotic than ever. Fuck advertisers.

What, you don't like watching two 15 second advertisements before each youtube video, which has a minute+ dedicated time to talk about today's sponsor?

Ublock Origin and SponsorBlock makes youtube bearable.

Forget all that. Just use LibreTube (with Piped API disabled) and FreeTube
