I mean, yeah. They absolutely don't want to be spending bandwidth on those of us who use adblockers. What I don't think a lot of people realize is that Google is perfectly happy with the people who are essentially never served an ad not using the service anymore. Saves them money.

    Everything you said is correct. But the infuriating part is that YouTube reached that position by killing off its competition. YouTube wouldn't be the only one standing now if they had shown the same behavior 10 years ago. Even more infuriating is that there are a lot of people around who support this entitlement from Google - because you know, you're stealing from the creators! All creators should find a way to accept donations without feeding the abusive corporation.
