Unpopular Opinion: I don’t like ads as much as anyone, I’d rather YouTube monetises 1440p and 4k content instead of forcing people to watch ads. YouTube is an extremely expensive business to run, so it being free forever is completely unsustainable.
Cant be that different a number of devices who are running ad block
Those also have firefox, you wanna compare the install count on that?
Not very many people actually use adblock, compared to who dont. A lot easier to just buy a machine and screen that can run 4k than figure out what the kids mean when they say "plugin"
