Please do this! YouTube will finally be unusable and Google can finally start to die completely :3

Most normies I know watch YouTube with ads already. I sadly don't think this will put much of a dent in YouTube.

That’s the thing, right? They’re fighting a very small minority of users blocking ads/tracking this hard

If corporations are not squeezing every little bit of profit. Then the corporation is losing st making money.

Perhaps it's better anyway if our favourite adblock/tracker blocking services don't become popular

Well the upside is that they're not actually trying to get it to stop, they're just making an effort to please their customers.
