Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers
Given that ad block users are usually tech savvy and have been around the net a while: We already know the URL and can detect Rick Rolls before clicking on shit.
I have an ad blocker and I tend to recognise the link, but even when I do, I ~choose to click on it for the fun of it.😌
Yeah if I get a hunch that the link I’m clicking is a Rick roll, I’m disappointed if it’s not
I mean, the song is a banger
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?
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.
If you’re seeing ads on YouTube, you’re doing it wrong.
A Rick Roll is a link to a domain that disables your ability to close your browser and maxes your volume.
Youtube links have never been Rick rolls.
If seen a lot of pointless gatekeeping in my day but this one may take the cake for most meaningless.
Hmph, speak for yourself. I dunno how you sleep at night, what with all your illegitimate Rick rolls 'n such
