Comment on Watching YouTube in private window still works with an ad block
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 year agoGoogle/YouTube never rolled out new features to all users at once, especially for new controversial features. They always do staged rollout (e.g. 1% of users, then 5%, then 10%, etc), often geographically limited too. That way they can gauge the potential impact if the feature before fully deploying them (e.g. whether the new features would actually increase their projected revenue or actually decreasing it).

That would explain a lot. We’ll see how this develops. For me it would be no big loss when adblock detectoon starts to work here. Loads of spare time to get back. ;) (no ads or no content, as I refuse to watch ads)

The moment an ad loads I close the window and copy the link to another browser. I’m not watching ads for a company that is making billions selling my data why they cry poverty because I won’t watch ads. Seriously fuck off Google.
