Jokes on you I saw the ad first.

3/4 of screen space filled with ads, how do you live like this?

I don't use yt on my phone. I was actually interested what op put behind the link. I thought it would be a rickroll, but yk, I had to click it. I know, it hurts me too, seeing other people suffer so many ads. Also this is my newest phone and I don't have the time to spend tinkering around ad free stuff.

Don’t have time, but have time to click suspicious links in case it’s a Rick roll?

Once you see the XcQ it's too late.

It's true. If you recognize the URL enough to avoid it, then you've been rickrolled without even clicking it. Wirelessly brain rickrolled
