Isn't it fun going down this road rather than fixing the need for ad blockers. (The ones beyond I'm just not interested)
The fbi recommends using adblockers which is amusing to me as Google is headquartered under their jurisdiction.
Drive by scams malicious scripts and straight up videos that google themselves would kill the account of a creator for.
And on top of that there's only so many times in an hour I can watch an ad for raid shadow wallet in an hour before I need a suicide hotline
Unpopular opinion but.......who fucking cares? Youtube with ublock origin takes like 3 extra fucking seconds to load. 3 second delay is still worlds better than a 30+ second unskippable add. It's not a big deal..
