Showed a friend how I got a modified version of Youtube on my phone. He did it, and when it came time to re-certify the app (7 days for none paid developers) he couldn't be bothered to plug his phone in, and let the program (that automatically recertifies it mind you) do it's thing.

He was showing me a video on the new DBZ Sparking Zero game, and had two whole ads before being able to show me whatever it was he was going to show me. I mentioned, "Man. If only there was a way to prevent this kind of nuisance.." and gave him such a withering look, he just put the phone away and said nevermind.

It is actually fucking insane what people are willing to put up with man....

You could've been a bit more chill about it, if you gave him such a "withering look" that he lost interest in showing you something he was excited about and said never mind, then the issue here isn't that he didn't plug in his phone, it's that you were unnecessarily and unpleasantly anal about it and your friend just didn't want to deal with your fixation.

Please do not assume a whole entire 6 years of friendship by just this one comment.

I did say it's okay, and that we can watch it on my desktop, which we then did, and even though DBZ isn't a favorite of mine, we both got excited. His excitement from DBZ, and mine from his excitement.

He knows how I am, how many times I've mentioned how much I fucking hate ads. You, on the other hand, know nothing about me.

Have a good rest of your day.

Bro you redirected him to your desktop over one quick instance of YouTube ads...

A desktop that was a few steps away, with a bigger screen, a sound bar, and a subwoofer.

It's okay. You can stop putting your feet into your mouth now.
