The thing the gets me the most, maybe, about this situation is that there can't be that many of us using ad blockers, eh? As big and as profitable as Youtube is, do they really need to come after such a small segment? It seems so petty and venal.

- rchaud 3y agoThe average user has seen an enormous increase in the # of ads on YouTube in the past few years. Multiple, unskippable pre-roll ads before a 3 minute video. They’re downloading the blockers in enormous volumes nowadays.
