Doubt. Never underestimate the hate and motivation against ads.
“Virtually impossible?” I haven’t had ads on YT in over 6 years, and I don’t even use a blocker or alt client.

It's what they always should have done anyway. I'm not so entitled that I think I should get content delivered absolutely free, but I am entitled enough to sandbox and restrict how many discrete domains my browser windows will talk to.
Your data is much more valuable than the 13/currency per month. Which btw, if you pay, the do not stop collecting sharing and monetizing on your data.
Exactly I don't think we're in disagreement. I'm not making a pro-youtube statement here. I just accept that it exists, as they need to accept that I have full control over my hardware. It's up to them to make their business model work for them in that environment, not me.
It's conflict theory.
I see, thanks for explaining. :)
If the YouTube interface restricts you skipping during certain parts of the video, an ad blocker can detect that and skip over it anyway. Otherwise, I myself will just skip over the ad.
