Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers

This battle was lost before it started. Sad thing is, if they weren’t so goddamn obnoxious with the ads it wouldn’t even need to be a battle. As it stands, YouTube without ad blocker is damn near unwatchable.

The guy who decided to start the battle increased ad revenue for a week so he got his bonus, that’s all that matters.

  That’s just executives in general. And on the wayout they’ll leech a golden parachute.

I remember when google search had one text-based ad. Bearable.

Absolutely! Everything on YouTube is somehow predicated to getting you exposed to some kind of advertising. Absolutely everything!

They’ve min maxed it so hard that without the various plugins that I use in Firefox YouTube would be almost completely unusable.
