@cmconseils Theory: Ad Blockers are a good thing for the advertising industry, YouTube included, because it removes us -- the folks who respond negatively to ads (thus bad for the company/brand/service if we see or hear them, better off that we *might* see the product on a shelf without already hating it) from the mix while keeping things seamless - we can share links to content with others and view links to content they send us - but we just never realize or think about the fact that "everyone else" is seeing (and maybe even paying attention to) ads inserted. Everyone that it offends has opted out, and those that haven't have gotten used to it, some might even enjoy it, and many actually pay attention to the ads as if they were actual content.

@Legit_Spaghetti @cmconseils ublock origin gang rise up
@renardboy @Legit_Spaghetti @cmconseils add sponsorblock as well. It uses community notes to auto skip the YouTuber ad reads and promos.
Its amazing how well it works. Right after any big youtuber releases a video, it skips over them. Even smaller youtubers will ad skip within a few minutes of release, and if not, the plugin let's you easy annotate the start - stop to help others.

That is kind of how it works. Running a platform like that does however cost money therefore I don't mind too much paying a little.@alterelefant @cmconseils poor google, that is barely able to scrap by with all their honest business practices. You really know how to look out for honesty and decency! Nice post.

Companies pay Amazon Prime Video to show ads.
We pay Amazon Prime not to show us ads.
Amazon continues to show us ads nevertheless.
We pay Amazon extra money to stop.

@cmconseils Um, no, not exactly. YouTube is asking us to pay them and then we donate to our favourite Invidious host and watch YouTube through that.

Now, the cool thing about the internet is that if you want to publish things that works (or worked) perfectly fine without these so called platforms.That are more or less a for of digital leeches sucking money out of the economy.
So no I don't see the value here beside that they've captured nowadays most content, so one is forced to deal with them.

@cmconseils kinda like an outbidding contest of money for attention.
@fogti
It's actually an attention/eyeball economy. It's literally called that in certain contexts. -

Deutsche Telekom charges consumers for broadband access and then also charges content providers for bandwidth to their customers. If you're the platform, nobody can afford not to do business there.
