Oh look, YouTube managed to circumvent uBlock for like two hours again before someone figured out a fix, lol.
Seriously, I wanna know how much funds Google allocates to fight ad blockers just to come up with a working solution every odd month that then gets fixed by the uBlock community in hours. There’s no way this is profitable for them or gets a sizable number of uBlock users to buy their subscription.
Sadly, the majority of humanity aren't intelligent people. This is most likely working for them with hundreds of idiots.
The majority of humanity doesn't own a PC.
The majority of people I know just use a smart TV and just take the ads up the ass.
