Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

They have infinite resources. They're making gestures to dissuade casuals. I suspect this will get them most of the result they want. They're also wasting time, effort and resources of adblock programmers (and that is a far more limited resource).

Sure but as long as there is a least one dedicated bearded dude hidden in a dark underground room behind his screen, they will be defeated. No matter how much they spent on the new technology. What I mean is that devs might burn out, they will still be replaced by others. And we get such people faster than youtube is able to burn them out

If they had infinite resources, they wouldn't need to worry about adblockers.

They aren't worried about them. They are squeezing what they can out of the platform.

Iirc YouTube has a positive revenue now
