Yes I'm sure all those using ad-blockers are thinking about YouTube origins 20 years ago. ;)
If they changed their policies the right response is to stop using the service.
Someone gives me something for free for a few years, and they stop doing it. Do I really have the right to make demands?
- diggan 3y agoI don't take the current "outrage" (wouldn't call it an outrage, but for the lack of other words) as "demands" as such. It's feedback from the users, that what they're doing sucks. Then it's up to each user to decide if it's worth leaving the service for, or not. So people are essentially doing what you say they should do. The service changes, users give feedback, some might leave, some might not.
- Xenoamorphous 3y agoWhy would YouTube "listen" to users with adblockers? They don't get ads, they don't pay for the premium version. They're a net loss to them (infra costs for nothing in exchange), they're better off without them so no incentive whatsoever to listen to them. And we should think about content creators too, where does the money they get paid for the views come from?
