“Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen
Users are unimpressed, eager to toss devices if test sticks.
I can't tolerate ads any longer. Ublock Origin + Privacy Badger plugins in my browser assure me that I'll almost never see ads on any of my systems. I just plug a laptop into my TV and stream from pirate sites.
I just can't tolerate any more loud, invasive, manipulative garbage being forced into my eyeballs by every single screen. You can't even buy your way out of ads on streaming services now. Everything is an advertisement.
Pihole/adguard filter rule:

Do you know if there’s a way for me to add something to my Pihole that would interfere with YouTube ads on the app on Xbox? I’ve been using wireless screen cast to use a laptop lately because the ad frequency has gotten so intense on the Xbox and iOS apps. Guessing it’s somehow being included online to the video streaming and I can’t use a browser/unlockorigin in the console so maybe there is nothing to be done, haha.
This should be a default for PiHole:
I recall from the only time I saw there eula, that the reserve the "right" to show you ads. I still remember when they chose to allocate half the screen for constant ads.
