minus-squareShowroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down1·22 hours agoEducational content is hard to come by outside of YouTube, so it would suck to have to avoid watching those videos because of ads. But I’ll do what I have to do in order to avoid ads for as long as possible. And I’ll archive important content in the meantime.
