    Don’t care, there are billions of hours lifetime saved by adblocking.

    Nobody needs to defend this tech conglomerates, let them figure it out.

      What if the solution they come to is shutting the whole thing down? Isn’t a degraded add riddled experience better than nothing?

        Do you people really think that YouTube can pay five-year-old “influencers” millions of dollars a year because YouTube is losing money?

        What if the solution they come to is shutting the whole thing down?

        Good fucking riddance.

            They should close their doors to anyone they don’t want to have on their site, so other companies get a chance to compete. Why would we stop using it, i’m literally fine with ad-free Youtube, you’re the one having a problem with it.

              That’s exactly what they’re doing with the ad block check.

              you’re the one having a problem with it.

              You don’t know what I do or do not have a problem with.

        Yes, maybe they got too big and are destined to fail at that point. They essentially have a monopoly in that space.
