I'm sorry to burst your bubble but ad blockers are on borrowed time.
This is like saying I was able to sneak into a concert. Sure, but at some point the restrictions are gonna come down hard.

- noman-land 1y agoAll I ask is that I can pay the creator directly for content without any middle-man. Anything less will be routed around. It's not like sneaking into a concert. It's like attending a free concert at a mall and wearing a mask so the cameras can't read your lips. Or covering your phone screen with your hand when you show a friend a private photo of a special moment.
- bitpush 1y ago> It's like attending a free concert at a mall Who pays for the electricity, upkeep, security and airconditioning of the mall? Who pays for the sound stage, the technicians, the lighting of the mall? The band decided to perform at the mall, because they like the facilities there. They always had a choice to perform at their house ("own website"), but they chose the mall ("YouTube") and as long as YouTube is hosting their videos, YouTube deserves to be compensated.

- globular-toast 1y agoIt's not analogous to sneaking into a concert. YouTube is open and public, always has been. It would not be YouTube if it wasn't.
