This is a long time coming. Who in their right mind thought that a service that allows pretty much anyone to upload gigabytes of videos would be free forever. I get that people don't like ads, but the amount of outrage is overkill.

Don't care, there are billions of hours lifetime saved by adblocking.

Nobody needs to defend this tech conglomerates, let them figure it out.

What if the solution they come to is shutting the whole thing down? Isn't a degraded add riddled experience better than nothing?

Do you people really think that YouTube can pay five-year-old "influencers" millions of dollars a year because YouTube is losing money?

Good fucking riddance.

Good fucking riddance

So then don't use it if you want it gone?

They should close their doors to anyone they don't want to have on their site, so other companies get a chance to compete. Why would we stop using it, i'm literally fine with ad-free Youtube, you're the one having a problem with it.

That's exactly what they're doing with the ad block check.

you're the one having a problem with it.

You don't know what I do or do not have a problem with.

Yes, maybe they got too big and are destined to fail at that point. They essentially have a monopoly in that space.
