  • YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

I'm a lesbian, Google has enough data on me to know I'm a lesbian, I live with women, don't really hang out with men at all. I use a bunch of Google services so I know Google knows this about my living situation.

SO MANY FUCKING ADS FOR MANSCAPED, WHHHYYYYY. I am not the target market for this Google.

I've taken to blocking the ads, still more Manscaped. Is it cause blocking = engagement? "Oh wow, she interacted with this ad to block it but ignored the others, what a good ad placement!"
