There is nothing wrong with bringing awareness to these things. I'm just making it clear that these changes are deliberately targeted at the average mobile user. Not the person who has a PiHole setup on their network and probably not at the average HN reader.
- gadrev 4y agoOne possible problem is if ad blocking technologies spread enough, they will stop working because it becomes a problem big enough for YT & others, or at least the adfree experience becomes harder. I can't explain how, and I don't really care, but it could become a cat & mouse game with the developers of uBlock, Newpipe and similar, and the big corp, in this case Google.
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoIt is already, and has always been a cat & mouse game with the bigcorps. Facebook and Twitch are at the bleeding-edge of "anti-adblock tech", and another reason why I don't use those services.
