  • 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.

There are tons of products I'd impulse buy, old lego sets, spice and hot sauce samplers, custom gaming dice.

I won't normally go out to shop for them but if they show up as an ad I may click and buy.

But they NEVER advertise anything to me that I like or am interested in. It's always bullshit

    Exactly. Show me ads for guitar parts, pen inks, and 80’s kid stuff. I would impulse buy the shit out of that. Instead it’s “Want this loot box filled with bullshit that a hipster is trying to sell”. No thanks.
