I'll give up on YouTube before I give up my ad blocks or 3rd party apps. Fuck off Google.

It will go the way of Reddit…

Almost no impact to their userbase or revenue?

LOL what are you talking about? The users had a hissy fit but after that Reddit got everything they wanted. The users mostly all returned a few days later and it was business as usual. Since then they opened up about selling user data and IPO'd and still nothing.

It's become abundantly clear now that there's level of abuse these users won't endure.
