YouTube tests disabling videos for people using ad blockers - Lemmy.world

This doesn’t make any sense to me; people who are determined to go out of their way to get something (like an adblocker) will just continue playing cat and mouse games.

It’s like a game of chess, google can pull a stupid move but devs and users will always work around it.

And also, are people who are determined not to watch advertising going to be the ones that cave and buy some crap if you can force them to watch it?

I don't think google cares if you buy stuff or not. They are just selling ads.

But I agree with overall idea: if the ads become unavoidable, I'll just stop watching youtube.
