Pretty much, also encouraged me to download uBlock, and now I see how many items it blocks from pages like YouTube. Spoiler: It’s a lot.

Right?
I have two tabs open…one is a site that is overtly and actively promoting products to me, with literal links to retailers where I can buy the stuff they’re promoting…the other is YouTube.
The promotional site’s uBlock counter is at 4.
YouTube’s is at…139.

Leave that YouTube tab open open for a day and see how many thousands of items uBlock has blocked.

Yup, I left youtube up on my laptop all day today and this is ublocks total. It’s fucking crazy that some people don’t bother with adblockers
