Adblocking is not piracy you dumb fucking nonce. I control what touches my network and my devices, if I block ad servers, that's not pirating, that's protecting myself from tracking.

And I've done it for 20 years. I've had commercial free TV from torrent clients scraping RSS feeds since 2007, streamed over to TV running XBMC back then. Running CDs before that, 2003 and later in an OG Xbox with XBMC on it. And today I'm a member of 5 very sought after private trackers, and almost all of my piracy is automated to use those trackers and usenet with services that I selfhost like jackett and sonarr and lidarr. My knowledge of piracy sources and methods absolutely dwarfs yours.

Lmao first you are younger than me. Second I didn't ask.

As if you worried about tracking, using YouTube or other google services is beyond stupid and don't tell me you are not.
