Anyone and Everyone with the slightest of computer knowledge but paid shills are plugging ublock origin everywhere and anywhere they can , and yet people still choose other garbages. You’d think that maybe they’ll see that tiny ‘sponsored’ text on top of the search result when looking for an adblock and go " why an adblock would advertise itself on search engines? this reeks of garbage, data siphoning bullshit adblock " but no, they even go as far as to defend it. I can’t even bother with these people anymore.

I think part of the problem is that we refer to these as “ad blockers” so AdBlock is the first one people find when they look.

No ublock for Safari, which, yeah, is Apple’s fault for being dicks, but it still sucks.

If the traffic plummets, YouTube wins. Serving content to ad-blocking users only costs them money. They don’t want those users.

Was understood that Beehaw is the nice corner of the fediwebz?

That would be a dream come true for Youtube. Think about how that would affect them financially, they would be serving significantly less load, but they would still rake in all those Youtube premium subscriptions. It would effectively be campaigning to remove the users who aren’t monetized from the platform.
