Plenty of ways. Targeting your most intensive tech crowd is not the way to do it. You want the masses that don't actively try and block their stupid ads. This will eventually bite them in the ass harder then it's currently doing.

You want the masses that don't actively try and block their stupid ads.

So you're saying that YouTube shouldn't want people with adblockers as users of the platform?

[–] jwagner7813@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I'm saying, imo, they're wasting a lot of energy on trying to get adblock users to stop using adblockers. Just my take, is all.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 0 points 1 year ago

Well, people who use adblockers don't make them money and, if enough people do it, revenue tanks.
