Google reveals the next step in its war on ad blockers: slower extension updates in c/gadgets@hardware.watch

YouTube is a dystopian nightmare without adblock. Especially mobile versions. I had a 3/4 page dominos advert and the top quarter of my screen was the video. 2 unskippable adverts before my 3 minute video started. Then another advert inserted randomly into the middle of the video.

I genuinely don't know how anybody uses YouTube without adblock. Even paying for YouTube premium is a lesser experience than an adblock provides.

In Skyrim, Paying Faendal to train you in bows. Then trading with him and just taking your money straight back.

In the same vein. You can pay any trainer to train you in their skill. Then just pickpocket all your money back. Added perk of boosting your pickpocket skill rapidly.

Maximum Ride. The books aren't up to much, but that film. Oof.
