    Oh look, YouTube managed to circumvent uBlock for like two hours again before someone figured out a fix, lol.

    Seriously, I wanna know how much funds Google allocates to fight ad blockers just to come up with a working solution every odd month that then gets fixed by the uBlock community in hours. There’s no way this is profitable for them or gets a sizable number of uBlock users to buy their subscription.

      I’ve seen what effort goes into it at somewhere else, it’s a lot

      not sure I’d say it’s unprofitable though, given just how goddamn much money google does make from its advertising monopoly. but I get what you meant with the conversion angle nonetheless

      Sadly, the majority of humanity aren’t intelligent people. This is most likely working for them with hundreds of idiots.
