It looks like YouTube's dark-pattern marketing strategy (highlighting the "Allow YouTube Ads" button), is they'd rather have you enable ads than pay for premium.
They're getting too greedy with demonetising videos and still making money off of them, to the amount of ads they play; same goes for other streaming platforms.
So far on Firefox with uBlock Origin I haven't come across it.
- guraf 3y agoWhat are you talking about? The vast majority of people would rather disable their adblocker on YouTube then subscribe and pay $15 a month... How is it a dark pattern for YouTube to suggest the most likely option?
