And, you’re assuming that YT isn’t clever enough to cover all the bases? They’re taking money from every side they can think of, and they know damn well that openly talking about ad-blocking inherently risks introducing the concept to new consumers, much less normalizing the whole concept.
YT is clearly juuust fine with money from pretty much anywhere, and I certainly have no delusions that any “premium” service is only temporarily off-limits from that greed. Not just YT’s, either. Netflix & Amazon’ve already done exactly that and completely gotten away with it —to the mildest of whines from the consumer base. 🙄🤮🤷🏽♂️
It’s all smoke & mirrors, and we each have a choice to believe their bullshit or not. You like steak or clarity?
