Google Ads on the webpages of all the webpages on the Internet, similar to their status quo.
I don't think any of us should be concerned about Google's cash flow. It's their job.
Are you saying that the ads shouldn't be video ads but webpage ads, instead?
Yeah, exactly why they are enforcing anti-adblock rules...
If this is how Youtube advertised, I wouldn't block the ads. I refuse to sit through ads when I'm searching through videos and I don't even know if the video is the one I want to watch. It's going to take a three minute search into a 10 minute search.
