It is not out of the question that I may have a very minor case of serious brain damage

27·11 months agoIf you want people to disable content blockers on your website, it’s best not to treat the people who don’t have one on like shit YouTube.
Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user’s terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.
In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
The EU stepped in, they have to remove it in Europe. Not sure about America though…
They’re begging for a direct competitor.
A paid adblocker/ video downloader is worth 20$ a month for 5 people? Every feature in premium has a third party tool alternative you could easily use anyway.
They had a system in place that put more ads on users depending on how many used an ad blocker. When the users got used to it, YouTube realized they could push it on everyone and make more money. They’d survive as a business even if that wasn’t the case anyway, Google owns them.
Advertisers, please do this to YouTube too. I need the dislike count back.
