people really overestimate how many people use ad blockers and sponsorblock…
30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers.
That is not insignificant by any means, even if it’s overestimated.
I imagine the amount of people using sponsorblock specifically are much smaller.

You’re right, but I think it’s fairly safe to assume that if one knows about sponsorblock, they’re using an ad blocker too.
And yet, despite everyone complaining, YouTube knows damn well no one is going to stop using their shit so they’ll continue to do whatever they want.
Maybe people should just…. Stop using YouTube. That or don’t complain when they fuck over the content creators and users of their platform.
Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.
