Just wanted to surface this comment, because not enough people are cognizant of the fact that adblockers do their job and prevent any PPA submissions.

I just hope ad blockers don't simply stop working (and by extension, existing) simply because multiple websites have started blocking the blockers (looking at you, YouTube).

I guess for small independent websites that run ads, I sorr of understand why I need to disable ad blockers, but for a website like YouTube, owned by an advertising giga-company, that's just stupid.
