Meh, paywalling some videos behind Google+ (or whatever the current iteration is) would've been the honest option. But they chose ads and tracking for everything (makes more money), i can understand why people circumvent them.
I can understand why people circumvent them too. I can't understand why they'd claim... "Hey Google, you suck at blocking ads. You can't stop us from doing it."
Seriously, fuck people that do this. Google knows people use third party apps that block ads. They might as well say... we're not happy not having ads. We want Google to block it entirely so we can be even more pissed off.
