@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.

@cmconseils Imaging what the internet would be like without ad blockers. Wow. That would literally mean no YouTube.
