    I've noticed lately on YouTube that you can buy or rent certain
    movies. They want you to pay $15 a month to get it "ad free", but I'd
    rather get an "ad blocker" with an extension in the web browser.

    I've used one for years.
    A lot of times if I find a movie or tv series I'll d/l it to a DVD to
    watch later, (some times days, sometimes years, later). Stuff seems to disappear to quickly on YT.

    Joe,

    A lot of times if I find a movie or tv series I'll d/l it to a DVD to watch later, (some times days, sometimes years, later). Stuff seems to disappear to quickly on YT.

    That's why I started bookmarking videos. But, if they zap them, it won't
    do me much good with the bookmarks.
