    YouTube threatens to block users using adblock.

    Will Google just shutdown YouTube after the AdBlocker blocker experiment / bluff fails completely? I really do hope so. Even better make it paid only.

    Gawd... wish they did it long time ago - wasted months of my life going through videos that were supposed to be the "be all and end all" source of information but in the end turned out it was mostly BS and "the math doesn't add up" but video had 69 ads in it because reasons...

    Disney+ full of professional content costs €8.99 per month and You can share it with Your family, each gets a profile etc. YouTube full of videos of teenagers burning off their bangs wants €11.99 per month for this nonsense AND unlike Disney+ you cannot share the premium account with your family...

    Unless YouTube premium price is down to something stupid like €0.99 - €1.99 per month I will not give them a single cent and I will use Ublock Origin until they block my ass completely... YouTube is owned by Google which already stole enough of our data and earned enough money by using You and me as a product to be free forever but lets pay them monthly. Obviously they have not stolen enough from us yet we must compensate them more...

    Disclaimer: Disney+ is far from perfect, used it as an example because I actually pay for it - that's all.

    Cheers.

    Andrzej
