Inside the ‘arms race’ between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.::YouTube’s dramatic content gatekeeping decisions of late have a long history behind them, and there’s an equally long history of these defenses being bypassed.

A viewer-exodus and a creator-exodus would be tied together, they both feedback into each other.

I’m just saying I don’t owe them my time or attention.
