The vast majority of people aren't even going to know or care. A lot of people will probably just continue on even when their adblocker becomes less effective. Of course the type of people who use adblockers are also more likely to wonder why their adblocker suddenly became less effective and then switch to a browser where it's more effective.

It takes a lot to change the inertia that already exists. People have been predicting the rise of the Linux desktop for at least a decade now and it still hasn't really caught on.

It's a shame because the thing that kills alternative platforms is getting flooded with racists to the point that they drive everyone else out.

A lot of "free speech" platforms box themselves into a corner by declaring themselves "free speech" platforms while intending that to mean they won't ban users for mild wrongthink, but then white supremacists show up, and if they get banned then they start causing a massive shitstorm over the fact that the platform isn't truly supporting free speech. Then they drive out all the normal people who don't want to be associated with them and the platform is forced to shutdown.

Then you have morons like Tim Pool who will endlessly attack "free speech" platforms if they ban white supremacists.

I have watched super progressive content on Youtube but also watched conservative content as well. It's possible there are a lot of progressives who also watch content from the other side so the algorithm pushes it.

Unfortunately that's one of the problems with a lot of alternative platforms.

I have Yunohost installed on my local network and they have DNS adblocking apps that you can install.

You can also very easily install apps like Owncloud to have your own version of Google Drive.

Imagine if Google's decision to do this to fight adblockers results in them losing the lead in the browser war because everyone switches to other browsers.

When I use Windows 11, I use a second local non admin account.

I finally installed Linux Mint along with Windows 11.

I wouldn't say that Gab used to be an exclusively neo Nazi site, but now that Twitter allows standard conservative discussions, all the normal people probably left Gab for Twitter and now Gab is probably more of a Nazi shithole.

I have seen openly Jewish people on Gab but you couldn't go 10 posts without finding something blatantly racist.

There will be a right wing meltdown when someone like Chloe Cole is rejected.

If you're not openly trans, then you really shouldn't be dating online because that's a risk.

My sister was open about it and she got creepy Neo Nazis looking for Russian girlfriends.
