That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

Just stay off YouTube for a fucking month. Or even a week. If the traffic plummets, then we win. Why’s it so hard to understand this?

Hell, make it one day where nobody uses YouTube.

If the traffic plummets, YouTube wins. Serving content to ad-blocking users only costs them money. They don't want those users.

Was understood that Beehaw is the nice corner of the fediwebz?

Is swearing itself inherently not nice? Shit…

I wasn't swearing at anyone. Was my reply wrong? The only way tech companies tech take notice is if people don’t use their services when they’re unhappy with it.
