The Fuck You guide to piracy
This is not a step by step guide, more of a “stop fucking paying egregious prices, save your damn money with these alternatives”.
Gabe Newell put it best, piracy is a service problem…
The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates
but in this day and age, the quality of a service is closely tied to the price you’re paying for that service. So if you can get that same or similar quality for free, do it. Before you think you should feel bad or that you’re robbing some big corporation, recognize that if you’re reading this than you’re the one person in a room full of a thousand people who will go to the effort to circumvent price gouging, shitty DRM, and unlock more for yourself. Let the other nine hundred and ninety nine suckers keep paying. Fuck ’em.

Get onto the Revanced Project, get the patcher, and patch your youtube version to remove ads. Easy as that.
