Sorry Google.
I'm gonna use YouTube ad free or I won't use it.
And I ain't gonna pay for it.
That's fine, but that's why Google is doing this. They need people who won't watch ads to stop using it to lower their costs. I mean what business survives with zero income? The question google is asking isn't whether or not some people will stop using it, the question their asking is will enough of them stop for them to generate income.
If Google can pay shitloads of money to people through ad revenue, then they can also make a profit off of the platform. Claiming they make no income is just complete bullshit.
So then they need to do whatever they can to stop ad block. Because Google pays shit loads of money due to ad revenue. I'm not sure how your logic disagrees with anything I said.
It's not Google paying that, it's the advertisers paying it. Google isn't just giving away their money.
...yes, so google desperately needs those advertisers to advertise. And if they stop, their content stops existing. So yeah Google has to stop ad block. Otherwise who's going to make anything for YouTube?
*Edit as you said
So they need advertisers to give out that money or they have no one posting videos.
Unless you think Google will just start giving out money.
They aren't going to stop. lol
I'm sorry but your "arguments" become more and more nonsensical.
