RaoulDukeYouTube could be testing a three-strikes policy for ad blocking
jetsetdoritoAll these tech companies are really getting bold lately with wildly unpopular decisions to try and raise profits
The platforms cost billions to run, and they are run by companies that are expected to have yearly growth.
You can blame the companies for being greed, but the users are equally naive if they think the money is just going to materialize out of thin air.
Free to use with no ads just isn't going to work, someone is going to need to cover the server cost.
That's true, but they'll never be satisfied with just making some profit. There will always be a rapacious desire for infinite profits. If they could find a way to make you watch nothing but ads on there and charge you for it, they would do it. It's only going to get worse.
