    And this is why we continue to use ad blockers. The entire internet is worse without them.

      Something like less than 5% of users use adblockers - and yet that’s still too many for youtube. They just can’t have a 95% revenue stream, they have to ruin what little tech credibility they had left and ruin it for that tiny 5%. I hope this only encourages more robust ad blockers.

        Right! Google acting like they are losing billions a month due to adblockers when in reality it’s like .2% of their total profits and they STILL foaming at the mouth.
