Yeah, it got hot for a moment
Comment on Google used to show ads I didn't mind. Now Google is THE reason I use adblockers.

They built it this way on purpose, hostile takeover, then let the shit happen. Like the other guy posted, the quality or source of the ad doesn’t matter, could go straight to a scam site, so fuck them. Block anything you don’t want. Ads are about 10-12% of all my network traffic according to pihole reports. That’s entirely too much.
And sure you don’t have to use YouTube, but where else are you going to go that has more hours of video than you got days left on this planet? The destroyed other video sites to create the shithole that many people depend on. Don’t act like you don’t use it.
