I don't quite understand the complicated politics of this, but if Youtube pushed just ONE advert before the show, and charged for that one advert more, instead of showering users with countless ads every fucking 6 minutes of the video, jumping into the middle of a sentence, asking the advertisers for peanuts for this quantity, it wouldn't have an adblock problem. On one android I had an ad at the beginning of most videos. I skipped it, but they did show. Since I got Brave, I have NONE. Watching this on Mozilla on my PC, I have NONE. What a fresh breeze that is!
And there are loads of fake educational videos compiled by AI, literally hoaxes and disinformation, each cashing in from gullible plebs watching that nonsense... Youtube isn't doing anywhere near enough to remove this sometimes harmful content. All it cares is money. Any content does the job for them. But they are quick to demonetise true face of the war...
