Remove all of the Chrome adblockers from the store (they are perfectly available anyways
Take them down like they do with the youtube mirrors
If they manage to come back and upgrade, yt will make sure to evolve their algorithm and blocking power...until they all reach a bottleneck and there's nothing the adblockers can do.
Twitter already surpassed discords ability to embed tweets now. The ability to embed tweets is now in Musk's mercy. YT is next to roost.
Who the fuck will use anything Chromium-based if concerned about privacy and safety?

What do you mean under "youtube mirrors"?

This could be the case if you don't control your OS and software. But if you do, there is no any way they could prevent you from using adblockers. Because you don't "look content on the website", you always download content to your computer and then your software show that downloaded content to you.
If you don't own your computer, and it is not your computer and software - it is only your fault, nobody's else.

Why do you need to embed anything from third-party corporation controlled site into your pages in the first place? That is what hyperlinks was created for. It is very simple to just put a hyperlink to tweet/video/whatever you mentioned and do not force user of your service to load tons of garbage and shit from fucking twitter servers.
That embedding shit is a direct and conscious help to the corporate media. Simple link is more than enough. Those who are interested will follow, those who are not will not be forced to that corporate shit.
Youtube has already figured it out basically. They are doing a rolling of the implementation meaning it will only be like another 6 months or something before they are doing it everywhere.
If it sees your skipping ads it blocks you from the service after 3 strikes.
Fuck em, thatll be the day I stop watching it.
I dont understand how the original team was able to profit without ads but google has to turn it into tv 2.0. Most of the content creators are sponsored and do their plug without the ad system. Why cant youtube go after their cut of that?
Fucking google, just as bad if not worse than microsoft.
Blocking the ad blockers is trivial, technologically. Keeping people using the site is hard, though, and they only make it harder, as they try to make it cable TV for the internet. Most people don't use ad blockers, though, and those that do will not put up with more than a few ads, before not watching the content on that site (unless the ads are forced to be sensible, like on Gab - it's not ads existing, but flashes, jump cuts, bright colors, -0.1dBFS audio, and content interruption). So, it makes the most business sense to just figure that ratio into the formulas for clicks, impressions, etc.. The only real problem that tends to arise is that tech channels can have a majority of viewers blocking ads - do you penalize them, or work with the site-wide average?
But, the PHB types will tell them to disable the ad blockers. Then, they get surprised Pikachu face when people use the site less, even those getting the ads.
They should really get into the sponsorship side of things, instead of normal ad serving. IE, if you do a sponsor segment, for $x, they get 20% or 30% of it, but no 3rd party ads will be injected into your content.
Those not using uBlock are imbeciles.
It's only a matter of time.
They can just
