  • YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

    Not sure why you feel the need to defend your actions by drawing analogies with real piracy - it’s their attitude towards you as a content consumer that you should note in this situation, and that’s just appaling. Your actions may well be piracy but frankly that’s just a word they use to guilt you out of choosing convenience and safety. Be a pirate and be proud, goddammit!
