Google has the entire internet indexed for their search engine, but still somehow hasn’t heard of the Streisand effect
Comment on Did youtube give in already?

If you don’t stop talking about the Streisand effect, I’m going to sue you so bad the whole world will hear about it.

in the long run
Pretty sure most corporations aren’t operating with this in mind at all. It’s not about long term anything, it’s just about how many ads the human brain can withstand before they stop feeding at the content trough.

Yep, good addition and probably the really important one.
Personally I think they are going to find that the people who use add blockers will never view adds on youtube.
They will either find a workaround or stop using it all together.
If the publicity around this action causes more people to move in the direction of using addblockers it could be really counter productive for youtube.

That all depends on if the revenue loss from an increase in ablocker use is more than the revenue gain from people either disabling advlockers or purchasing a plan.
