If they're doing better than ever, then why are they trying to constantly hack through my ad blocker now in a desperate attempt to show me an ad one way or another? I'm always gonna be one step ahead. They lost the game before they started. But they still won't give up for some reason. That's a lot of resources for a company to spend on someone that will never give a shit and keep blocking the ads.
There are two ways that would happen. One is with IP bans, and even then, there are still ways around it. And if they start doing that, they'll start to cut off legitimate users with dynamic IP addresses that change often. The other is by dropping ad supported services completely and moving to a fully paid model. And I doubt they have enough people who give enough of a shit to start giving YouTube actual money for the bullshit that's on there.
Like I said, they lost the game before they started. They will never shake off the freeloaders without seriously kneecapping their company.
They just don't understand (lemmy.world)
