    Yes, but you are the minority.

    I dated a girl over the summer, and we were watching youtube videos in bed.

    My phone has revanced, and it kills all the ads.

    Then she shows me one of her videos.

    It was…oh my god. Do you have ANY idea how awful the vanilla youtube experience is?

    And thats just how most people watch it. They just watch youtube, with the official app. Ads and all, and are fine with it.

    So even if all the fediverse minded people quit youtube in unison, it would still be less than 1% of their viewership.

      It often makes me wonder why you tube keeps squeezing then. If the majority don’t block ads it seems like it would be an acceptable loss.

      At this point, I am kind of done with youtube either way. The more I go on with life the more I want to actually do things instead if passively just watch things.
