Betteridge's law of headlines has rarely been more applicable than in this case: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
If YouTube demands I disable my ad blocker, yes. For me, yes it is the end.
no it won't but we can dream
I just marked all my videos private over it.
Put your money where your mouth is.
I always thought of it as stealing
What about companies stealing my time forcing me to watch ads for goods and services I have no interest in?
For years they all claimed "oh, we have to snoop unto you because we get to learn what you like and don't like, and then we can show you ads for things you might value."
Has anyone, anywhere, found a way to make ads more attractive to the individual viewer? NOPE. If they had, they'd have been demonstrating it - bragging about it. Was I ever more likely to buy something because of an ad on TV? Did I ever wonder where the yellow went? Never. I comparison-shopped to get the best value for the dollar. If we all do that, then may the truly best product win.
True!
Time and energy wasted on ads, it is too damn high!
