okay Google, how about this. I already pay for premium, but Im too lazy to disable my adblocker for just your site, can we just call it a draw and move on?

    I seriously don’t understand why they’re so aggressive about this.

    I would consider maybe turning off my adblocker if they ran single ads and didn’t make them so long, and actually did some curation on their ads so I didn’t see a fake MrBeast scam ad or political ad every time. Yet they don’t, so I will continue to find ways to block ads until I no longer can.

        I don’t think anyone disagrees with that, but YouTube today has a lot more ads, especially spammy ones, than YouTube 7 years ago did. This is an issue with them using a business model that doesn’t scale very well.

          Interest rates were basically zero for a decade, then they spiked this year with every indication that they aren’t going back to zero anytime soon.

          This is radically shifting the approach for many tech companies.

          Not saying I like it, just saying it’s why rapid enshittification is happening
