    YouTube ensuring it gets ad revenue is the exact opposite of killing it.

      People who use ad blockers aren’t the type of people to click the ads. We’re doing a Google a service by improving conversion statistics.

      It’s always amusing to see people claiming to be these masters of business strategies pushing such excellent advice as “pay money to provide a service to people who supply no revenue”.

      Don’t get me wrong; there absolute is a point where you can be so overly burdensome that you’re going to push legitimate customers away and ultimately hurt yourself more than you help, and YouTube absolutely does do some stupid things, but business is so much more complicated than people like to think.
