Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads

Oh no! You are going to make your platform work like ass? And you expect us to do mental gymnastics in such a way that instead of blaming you (you know the one that has control over the platform) we blame uBlock? The same uBlock that has made using your platform bearable for many years, to the point that I will sit in silence with the screen off instead of watch with ads?
I think even if you make us wait a min before playing the video most would take that over an ad.

I would prefer an ad 🤷 if it doesn’t last a stupid amount of time

That’s what they’re banking on, but we know that eventually they will f*** it up and lose everyone.

Unless we have some serious alternatives, that won’t happen anytime soon
Video hosting is really expensive. Every service running for free will eventually enshitify and turn out similar, because there’s no such thing as free massive servers

Peertube has already delivered the sustainable model: creators host their own videos and viewers assist distribution.

It is… they’ve out spent the competition. Now that no one else is around, they’re trying to make all the money they can. Luckily, it won’t be long before some other alternative will pop up anyway.
