Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker

  I don’t really care if the make poor decisions and end up with an unviable business model. I’ll do other things with my time.

  Alternatively, they'll take steps towards a more viable business model, and you'll also find other things to do with your time.

  I’m willing to put in time and effort to make sure I see as few as possible.

  You can zap all ads forever with a few minutes and a credit card, if you're willing.

    That’s the thing with ads. They’re a thorn in my side. That Google puts there.

    If you were charging me to remove the thorns you put in my side, I’d be belligerent towards you. And I ain’t gonna give ya money.

      We have no idea if YouTube operates at a loss or is profitable. Google won’t say. Revenue really tells you very little when you look at what it takes to run something like YouTube. It’s a huge reason why an open competitor is so hard to make work.

  For someone who doesn’t care and has no viable responses to the questions here, you sure do have a lot to say.

    It’s true, I’m very passionate about never viewing any advertisements!
