That would explain why I didn’t have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

    Just stay off YouTube for a fucking month. Or even a week. If the traffic plummets, then we win. Why’s it so hard to understand this?

    Hell, make it one day where nobody uses YouTube.

      If the traffic plummets, YouTube wins. Serving content to ad-blocking users only costs them money. They don’t want those users.

      That would be a dream come true for Youtube. Think about how that would affect them financially, they would be serving significantly less load, but they would still rake in all those Youtube premium subscriptions. It would effectively be campaigning to remove the users who aren’t monetized from the platform.
