  • Youtube don’t need to eliminate adblocks; they just need the barrier of entry to be large enough to discourage the general population from blocking ads.

    I think the whole reason YouTube started this crackdown is because adblocking has become a lot more mainstream and easily accessible.

    Once they make blocking ads more difficult 95% of users will go back to watching ads, and it’s simply not worth the time & money to fight against the remaining 5%.

    If you’re tech-literate enough to be on the fediverse, and willing to spend a half hour on adblocking, you’re not who YouTube’s targeting. You’re part of the stubborn 5% who will find a workaround for whatever YT throws at us.
