Hear me out: Google makes money by selling ads. People who buy from those ads don’t have an adblocker installed. People who are intelligent enough to block ads wouldn’t buy from them anyway. If Google allows it to be too easy to block ads then their model collapses. I’m ok with jumping through a couple hoops to continue to block and Google doesn’t lose anything while I get to still watch the content I like without wasting anyone’s time. It’s to Google’s benefit to serve videos to only people who will actually buy that crap anyway. If Google or anyone wants to sell to me, they simply have to make a great product. If they do, I’ll see it in use for it’s intended purpose and buy it. For example, I didn’t have to watch any ads to buy a Nintendo Switch years ago…
