Yes, they uninstall and then install an adblocker that works. Click bait.

Yeah for a while I used Adblock plus and ublock. With this adblock plus was just tripping youtube so it was an immediate uninstall. Stupid article is stupid

Why would you use two adblockers at the same time? That’s just bound to cause problems. And that doesn’t even go into the whole adblock plus drama.

It’s not crazy. There are multiple blacklists that largely but not completely overlap. Sometimes program A works best on site B and program Y works on site Z. Or at least historically this has been the case.

Obviously a new game is afoot.

Yeah, who’s gonna say “Oh, I’m not blocking ads on YouTube, better take the time to make sure I see ads everywhere else as well.”
