I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated, but I am guessing there are a lot of adblock users here and I was wondering if anyone has seen the youtube adblock warning message in the wild. I use ublock origin and still haven’t seen it once.

Then why aren’t they using these alternatives? Why does every company and place need to follow their ideals?

As the social media juggernauts, these companies are viewed as the embodiment of everything they see as wrong with a capitalist/corporatist society, and in their mind, by dismantling or fundamentally changing and challenging these juggernauts, they can inspire and bring about the change they want in society as a whole.

So they are against it by using it? What?

I also think these corporations are evil, but complaining about everything they do just because it is an inconvenience for them? They should complain and act on the shit that matters.

Against it by “using” it in a manner which deprived the company of revenue - such as watching videos with an adblocker.

This, in their mind, counts as “shit that matters”.
