The YouTube ad-blocker ban isn't stupid at all.
Something isn't a bad business decision just because you don't like it. That's now how business works.
"I won't watch videos at all if I can't view them without watching ads or paying money."
....Yeah. That's the idea. From a business perspective people who don't pay or view ads are leeches they're perfectly happy to burn off.
But but everything on the internet should be free! /s
most people dont take issue with the fact that there is ads but with how intrusive they are.
And how inappropriate some of them are and the sheer number of them
