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
My first reaction was to think about how humanities main 3 qualities are intelligence, social groups, maths [on phone, imagine i linked to Dijkstras article on counting here], and the ability to chuck spears very well. But meh effort.
Yes, grouping people into categories based on some intelligence stat is frowned upon here in awful.systems the place which doesnt like race realists (or your regional equivalent).

Sadly, the majority of humanity aren’t intelligent people. This is most likely working for them with hundreds of idiots.
The majority of humanity doesn’t own a PC.
The majority of people I know just use a smart TV and just take the ads up the ass.
Some people even just ignore the entire idea of skipping them, or acknowledging them in the first place.
I could, but… meh energy.

no to this, kthx
I mean, yeah, the people on Lemmy aren’t atypical of the populous though.
Populace ;)
a swing with a double miss
I feel like you guys think I’m in favor of YouTube’s actions and not just stating observations, but enjoy your angies.
let me spell it out for you: don’t be such an ass.
So angy. 😘
