YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Imagine all the cool stuff we could be doing if we weren’t wasting the time of hundreds of engineers figuring out how to shove ads in people’s faces.
If everyone were a paying subscriber we could actually do all those things. No one wants to be ad supported, including the people at YT. But there are bills to pay.
I would love to be a subscriber if Google could guarantee that they won't take my viewing information and then sell it to other advertisers or data brokers, or use that info to push ads on behalf of those brokers in other Google products.
As it stands now, why would I pay with my money AND my data? Google shouldn't get to double dip.
This is ad driven economy and bar must go 🆙
"Line go up" is the animating force of the age, the critical philosophical principal around which our entire society is arranged.
Gives me a fucking headache.
I choose not to confuse their values as mine or that of my community.
Thank you.
