YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker
(www.businessinsider.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The ads make it pretty bad. They’d have to work really hard to make it worse without ads.
Wait until they make it so you either have to wait 20 minutes to watch a video or turn off your adblocker.
Because they can do that if they want and they will if they feel it's worth it to them.
I kinda want to see what the folks behind ublock origin would do if they did do that...
It could be that they don't have any recourse. At some point, I think Google will decide that the data they can harvest from people blocking ads will not be worth the cost of the server time and bandwidth. uBlock Origin has been doing well so far, but Google has far more money and resources to throw into this than they do. They're going up against a Goliath and in these cases, Goliath often wins.
I'm not saying I want any of this to happen. I just know Google.
