How many Youtube employees would be assigned to frontend/adblock sabotage efforts? I’m wondering whether the law of diminishing returns will be observed, or will the company have sufficient resources to maintain the shenanigans indefinitely.

If it’s the latter, Youtube can rest assured my resolve will match theirs, until the damned thing gets paywalled…

It would be so interesting to see how the internet reacts to YouTube going paywalled. It would probably kill a lot of YT creators’ revenue and views.

Or maybe people would pay for it, idk. Do people spend more time on YouTube than they do Disney+ or Hulu or Netflix, given YT Premium’s cost?

So long as it’s publicly accessible, Youtube has ‘plausible credibility’ when it talks to advertisers about impression numbers. Remember, we’re not the only party YT fucks.
