I have very strong, customizable adblocker so the clicks I make on Youtube don't pay shit. Next you're going to tell me that using an adblocker is stealing? [Reply]

I have found that my adblocker is not detected by most sights and the ones that it is it is only noticed by a particular request. I doubt it will affect me. [Reply]
