I will not use youtube and use ads. The sooner they break my adblocker, the sooner i won't be on their platform
I really don't think they understand this... If an ad starts playing on YouTube I just turn it off and see why my ad blocker isn't working. If it doesn't work I simply don't watch the video. I had no desire to switch to Firefox because Chrome was just working for me, but then it didn't work. There's no way in hell I'm sitting here with my adhd addled brain, with my 4 year old phone in my hands watching for 30 seconds why I need a brand new acura.
The only time I've ever willingly watched an ad was tiktok. Because they know I can simply swipe and skip it, but sometimes the sponsored content is creative and entertaining.
They do understand it. They just believe the number of people who will do it are small enough to be worth it.
I guess. And you might be right. But the end goal of enshittifying everything is going to bottle out into unusable tech and the death of innovation.
And sadly, they're probably right. Just look at how many people are willing to sit there mindlessly absorbing messages from their corporate masters.
You're part of less than 10% of the people watching YouTube, and you're in a 10% they won't care about because you aren't making them money anyhow.
They are also on here instead of reddit, so they are really in much more rarefied air.
google just made it so ad blockers using their engine will not work the same... probably why it was working fine then it didn't
