  • YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

So you think defending myself against viruses is Piracy. Go you.

To be fair In my teenage years I used to write these things for fun, I'm on a vpn now so pretty safe but I'll honestly warn you to be aware of ads everywhere, even the name brand ones.

If you let them through you are truthfully putting your pc at serious risk nomatter what Google or Linus claims, the vast majority of ads come through ads the rest are from dipshits downloading freestuff.exe but yeah mostly through real ads.
