We can live without YouTube, they can’t live without us.
I’m curious what people would prefer for revenue generation models. Just subscription fees? A lot of folks also seem resistant to that as well.

I've been seeing this for a couple weeks now along with a popup telling me "ad blockers aren't allowed" at work where I'm forced to use Chrome. I have UBlock Lite installed. Typically a refresh takes care of the popup and a 10 second delay later, the video loads.
uBlock Lite is simply not as potent, so it's understandable it can be beaten. Almost like Google is abusing their monopoly
I run portable Firefox on my work PC. I refuse to use chrome. some of our apps require Edge, but outside of that, I don't touch chrome.
I also think they slowed it down for firefox users.
I'll wait.
Wish they could use Gemini to generate ad clicks instead.
Is google’s company motto still ‘Don’t be evil’?
