A quick look at TPB’s top 100 games tells me that was a lie.

Nah, there doesn’t seem to be a problem simply writing nasty comments. Personally I’d prefer getting downvoted to hell than a ‘pile-on’ in the comments spewing bile.

Most people do. But it’s not enough.

Even if all their users payed, it wouldn’t be enough.

I’ll make a wild assumption and say that the people that made the adblockers might also be using them.

Plus, it’s likely to evolve into a “less ads” deal eventually.

The one constant is that there’s never enough money to satisfy corporate needs.

I don’t think we should underestimate the savvy programmers out there, who are just as fed up with ads as the rest of us.

And at this point, most of the cousins who don’t know how to update their adblocker are already there. It’s a matter of time. YT won’t keep pouring money into this. Just long enough to the “balance the books.” When the ‘number of viewed ads’ start slowing down again and they’ve hit their max viewership, they’ll call off the hounds.

The question is ‘Do they want to keep throwing money at techs in the hope of forcing people to watch their ads?’

At best, people will keep finding ways to get around the ads and YT will have wasted a ton of money on nothing.

At worst, a bunch of people will abandon YT all together. And YT will have wasted a ton of money getting rid of them.

Both options seem self-defeating and wasteful.

Best of luck to ya

I think a “Top Mods” search should cover you fairly well.

You want the Scrips Extender first and foremost. Most mods depend on it.

The 4GB Patcher is also a must, if I remember correctly

After that Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP should cover most of the bugs. (I can’t remember exactly how much it covers, just that it’s was an essential mod back when I was screwing around with it)

Other than that it’s a bit of trial and error. If a problem pops up or if one persists, look around for more specific patches.

If you never finished it, I’d recommend just sticking with Bug Fixers and Stability Mods.

The game holds it’s own without changes.

I’d even hold off on graphical mods as there’s little that can be done to improve the visuals without complete texture overhauls. And they tend to just make the contrasts more apparent and can cause even more instability to an already extremely unstable game.

I guess it depends on the scope of the modding you’re thinking of doing. And simple personal preference of UI and such.

Personally, I’m a basic bitch. So Vortex works fine for me, as did NMM.

You should probably just give them a try and see how they feel to you. They are still free to download as far as I know.

Denmark checking in. Got it as well this morning
