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.
And the biggest bootlicker award goes to.....
[X] press to doubt.
You shitpost on the internet acting like you and Google are buddies and you're ok with your data being collected because you "understand how to make money and find value in youtube."
I'll access all the same content and not be ttracked. Luckily chumps like you will keep on clicking those ads and it'll be too much of a headache stopping people like me from blocking them.
Well great, I neither pay nor do I watch the ads, I'll save my 12$ a month elsewhere
Oh I'm not bitching, I'm enjoying an ad free YouTube without paying, while I do see value in the service, I don't have money just laying around to throw ever so willingly at it, while I could spend it on a meal or two.
If I can get what I need for free then I'll do it, if I can't then I'll move to something else.
Now imagine that.
What's your net worth?
Cool, so you’re saying you own a house?
What's your approximate age?
Not bad for that age, if you have a mid-sized ranched that's only worth $450k then cost of living must be next to nothing so ~$1.5m might last a couple years.
Not quite retirement money but in a better position then some.
