    Stop sucking big corpo dicks. You’re a worthless number to them. If it was legal they’d infect you with the worst malware imaginable to sell your data.

      Lol I’m not sucking anyone’s dick, I’m just tired of people complaining about YouTube and Google “stealing their data” when they are using things like YouTube that cost insanely large amounts of money to maintain. Users who are using ad blockers and not signing up for premium thereby stripping them of monetization that they need to maintain the services and pay content creators essentially expecting them to keep YouTube running as a form of charity. The fact that I’m here having to tell people to knock it off is a very bad sign considering how anti corporation I am. If their user share is growing as fast as it is while their revenue per user is dropping them tell me how you would solve that problem outside of targeting features favored by users that aren’t using ad blockers. Do you think that reducing the number of ads in the hope that those currently using ad blockers will immediately disable them and thereby make up that disparity? Because I doubt that seriously. Do you think that they should stop collecting data with the expectation that advertisers are going to spend the same amount for less effective advertising? Because I don’t. So please tell me how you would handle this.
