No, this can’t be. They took all of our personal information so they could use AI to tailor ads to exactly what we wanted at any given moment.

If they want to fight hard, they just add the ads into the stream.
Like Twitch you mean? I think that has been blocked as well. And other addblockers can even skip adds within yt videos
What do you use to block twitch ads?
Meanwhile Odysee goes ads free...
Any one else watch the Linux tech tips video (degooglefying) where he tried to claim blocking ads was Piracy.
That pissed me off because blocking ads is honestly just protecting yourself against viruses which appear even on ads on Google etc.
Also who am I depriving of their property by blocking ads, F you linus.

Make your platform so bad in the interest of shareholders so no one wants to use your platform anymore. It's a story as old as capitalism.
Sounds like users are trying to end up in the find out phase.
YouTube... "We provide these APIs and make our apps and privacy policies more accessible than most, but we still can't give everything away for free."
Users... "Haha scum of the earth we think we're beating you and that you have no way to stop us from circumventing your ads without paying."
