What a terrible strategy...

Hey you should consider not blocking ads and joining YouTube Premium! By the way we just increased the price of the service you currently virtually have for free.

More like "now that we've taken care of the competition, we're free to jack up the prices! It's The American Way!"

What competition? There never was any competition for Youtube.

Competition for YouTube Premium (ad blockers).

Yeah, the reason I block the ads and don't buy premium is because the price is too high.
