Yep, it's going to be a constant game of cat-and-mouse from now on. Google isn't going to relent on this.
Oh, of course not. But uBlock Origin and pihole aren't going anywhere. Hell, they'd probably have to get legislation to slow it down, but good luck fighting that battle. Hollywood's war against piracy is a good comparison.
something something offer a better service than the pirates
Exactly. We've come a long way from $6/m netflix. I would rather give up youtube than pay them $10/m. I GLADLY paid $1/m to a twitch adblocker the other day. Ill pay, but not fucking $10/m when I can avoid it with some complications for free.
I'm scared that that's the endgame here. By educating people about ad blockers, they might be purposely tanking their business model so they can cry to the government to ban ad blockers to save them.
Not even, they've already tried to make the case of Anti-adblock bypass violating DMCA and it hasn't gone anywhere. Unlike piracy where it can and is claimed as a violation of copyright law.
Shoutout to /r/PiHole
Is that how this works over here?
I think its c/Pihole
but I haven't figured it our yet
