  • 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.

"Should we moderate our ads and get rid of 2 hour long ads, disinformation, porn,scams and fake products?"

"No, no. Thats to much effort. Lets spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to force people to watch our 2 hour long ads, disinformation, porn, scams and fake products. Thats clearly the way forward."

This decision process brought to you by Prager U proceeds into 30 minutes about how slavery was good for the black man and he should be grateful for it

    Woah, youtube ads in the US are so much more interesting. Don't get me wrong, fuck pro slavery propaganda, it's just completely exotic to someone who only saw bank loan and lame product ads (when visiting parents who use official app on their tv)

    Its real funny when you see a video get demonitized because they said a no no naughty word in the first like fe wminutes, but the first advertising you see is literally almost completely nude art of women bouncing around screen for the latest scam mobile game.

    Like, Saying Fuck to early in a video is no no bad for the kiddies. but cartoon tiddies 96% uncovered in a 3 minute ads is perfectly okay for the kiddies.
