Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers
I give up, this has really let me down.
Gave you the runaround?
You aren’t doing youtube correctly.
PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube
Mobile: revanced, newpipe
How does one Rick roll people who don’t do YouTube correctly, which is most everyone?
Those people? We don’t interact with those people.
Touché
Are you rick-rolling yourself? Derp.
Honestly, I have Firefox + ublock origin in Mobile too
For iOS, since there’s no easy app based method to block YouTube ads: fire up a VPN connection to Albania. Streaming ads are illegal in Albania.

Freetube has been failing consistently on all my desktops lately. None of the instances on the main site work. Can you verify it’s till working and maybe DM me the instance you’re using?
If you’re seeing ads on YouTube, you’re doing it wrong.
Thank you. I needed this.
I don’t mind adverts for free services but YouTube take the piss now.
And Amazon. Paying Prime members still have to watch ads.
What ticks me off is Stack TV. I pay for it and I still get huge ads on the bottom and right edges, telling me to subscribe to Stack TV.
Same in UK for Sky. You have to be a Sky TV customer (paying) to use the Android or iOS Sky Go app and it still makes you watch adverts without skipping.
There was a vociferous but somehow under the radar outcry about this back in 2018 and an incredibly simple solution was widely suggested: demonetize the video.
However, the highly viewed video is a significant source of royalty revenue for Mr. Astley, which, as he well argued at the time in a series of tweets, is only just compensation for the way his image has been turned into a joke literally hundreds of millions of times now.
Mr. Astley implored YT not to bow to pressure and demonetize the video. YT famously replied “don’t worry, we’re never going to give you up, never going to let you down.”
I know theres a github page. I believe its shatterdisk? When i was in school they firewalled youtube. So i found alternatives to rick roll.
Where there is a rick roll There is a rick way
Just use a different site here
Now playing Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
You could try SoundCloud, been spending a lot more time over there lately.
I don’t understand why people have to watch those ads. It’s one websearch that will save you a lot of time.
I use Mozilla for desktop and brave for Android to listen to videos while the screen is off.
