The Guaranteed Way To Stop Obnoxious Youtube Ads
And get paid in the process
The internet is the best resource to learn new skills and network with people across the globe. Thanks to its incredible scale, it has the ability to reach hundreds of millions of people.
Youtube is by far the best platform to learn and grow. There is so much information out there that it has made formal education obsolete. You could get the same information from a couple of videos as you would from an MBA from a prestigious college.
However, Youtube has taken advantage of its dominant position as of late.
Youtube is deliberately bombarding us with a boatload of ads to force us into buying its ad-free subscription.
This is a classic example of "Create a problem and provide the solution."
It's time to take matters into your own hands.
Use Brave Browser
What if I told you that there is a browser that prevents random popups, focuses on security, stops Youtube ads from showing up, and pays you with rewards. You would probably tell me I'm dreaming.
But that is precisely what the Brave browser does. It was created by the founder of Mozilla Firefox exactly for this purpose. It is based on two pillars — speed and privacy.
Now you can watch your Youtube videos in peace and not worry about irritating ads.
How It Works
Brave gets rid of targeted ads and instead has general ads for the whole Brave community. These ads are in the form of little notifications that do not hinder the browsing experience and can be dismissed easily.
Brave collects this ad revenue and then distributes it amongst creators and users. You, as a user, are rewarded for giving your attention. The creator is rewarded for holding a user's attention.
All rewards are carried out with the help of the Basic Attention Token or BAT. This is a cryptocurrency token that you can exchange for real money.
This system allows creators to get paid without sacrificing the user's experience.
Should you switch from Chrome?
You definitely should. The are many more benefits than the ones mentioned above. There is the Brave shield that prevents unnecessary background scripts. This lets web pages load faster.
Any extension that works on Chrome works on Brave as it is built on Chromium.
In conclusion, what are you waiting for? Download Brave for a better user experience!
