They were able to build a business and be profitable for over a decade but now all of the sudden ad block is destroying YouTube? 🤔

They were never profitable

They can absolutely go fuck themselves. I've already weened myself off of nearly every social media, stopped paying for YT premium because they keep doing bullshit I don't like. I'm so ready for an alternative.

Lol, I've seen that but still just use the adblocker and it plays as normal.

I think it's meant to scare non tech savvy people. I don't see how they can stop us using adblockers....

PeerTube looks quite promising with its decentralised model. Surely it will never be perfect. But decentralisation is essencial. Also because the types of videos I like to see in YouTube either are monetised by themselfs in some way. Or are not monetised at all. YouTube does not seem necessary for those creators.

Haha! Forced ads = no watchie-watchie. I have played this game with YouTube before, and the adblockers always win.

I guess, like everything youtube will be replaced with other things

I'm with the group that refuses to ever watch YT ads, but I guess it does help reduce bandwidth if they kick everyone off that's using an adblocker.

Im honestly considering getting a flip phone at this point it's kind of ridiculous.
