    Not exactly an original opinion but I hate this. I watch ads on my Roku app, I watch them on the mobile app, can’t they just let it go on web browser? This just wreaks of greed

      Every report i’ve passed claims yt is running in the reds for years, assuming this is true i can understand it.

      But i’m still very happy adblock works for me on pc, the ads i get on tv are too many, too often.

        Sometimes you have a product that’s a loss leader to hold marketshare instead

        I can’t imagine adblockers are really that big of a deal, it’s just Google trying to get revenue off the 0.1% of people who use them
