YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

And that’s actually a good thing. If 90% of users used ad blockers on youtube, their profit model wouldn’t work and they’d stat locking more behind a subscription or they’d double down on cracking adblockers. We can enjoy an ad blocked youtube experience because the majority of users don’t.
Nah youtube will never stop being free no matter how many are ad blocking. Content creators will all leave because they can’t pay the bills with 3,000 views a day. They’d loose billions of active users and Alphabet’s shareholders will shit their pants.
Youtube doesn’t actually loose anything from ad blocking. It’s advertisers who lose out and it’s easier for youtube to scam them than us. If the advertising money dries up Youtube will simply go back to operating in the red just like it did for most of it’s existence.
Revenue, debt, profit, products, customers, etc. Not of that shit means anything anymore because the billionaires have decided to let the world burn. The market today is nothing but gambling, theft, insider trading, grift and speculation and they’re going to do that for as long as they can before the party ends.
content creators mostly use patreon, brand deals and promotions, they know AD revenue is in the drain or they selling thier own products on thier channel.
Lose, not loose. Loose uses a soft S, and means uncoupled, held in a less firm grip.
Bruh, it’s not even hard to tell that it was a typo. Nobody asked for dictionary.com.
On the other hand, If everyone would use adblockers, maybe content creator market would evolve into viewers supporting their favorite creators directly, or youtube having a subscription model that is much better than a current one in a way of user experience and creator support.
i tried to “unblock” my ads for some channel owners, nope instant bombard with tons of ads.
Trust me, there’s no way people are going to fund creators that much.

Literally a bunch of martial arts YouTubers that keep getting asked by fans if they would play D&D together, so they started a patreon/gofundme and got back almost 500% of their funding goal in only 2 days.
People absolutely would/will fund the creators they care about.
i think people are unaware that google takes most of the ad revenue from them, thats why they use PATREON as a source.
Patreon would like a word.
If Patreon was enough, youtubers wouldn’t enable midroll ads
