If the service degrades to far due to using ad blockers then I'll just stop watching anything on YouTube. Easy.

[–] Wrench@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

Okay then. That was always allowed.

Umm, ok. You were not making them any money before, when you were blocking their ads, why would they care if you left?

Because the big channels will get a significant drop in views which lowers their sponsor pay and willingness to work with them.

I think you're overestimating how many people care enough about this.

Remember when killing password sharing was gonna be the death of Netflix, and then they saw a significant increase in subscriptions and profits?
