adblockers violate youtube terms of service

Poll of the Day

always find it funny when people will pay for a subscription to Spotify without a second thought but are disgusted by the thought of subscribing to YouTube premium. Especially when YouTube premium gives you ad-free music AND video.

Spotify hosts a much smaller (in file size) library of content, and having Spotify premium doesn't provide more value to artists per view.

YouTube does a much more demanding and expensive task of hosting vast amounts of video, which subscription fees (and ad revenue) make possible. And your YouTube premium views directly provide more income to content creators that you watch.

Paying for Spotify and then using an ad blocker on YouTube should be a red flag about someone's judgement.


Youtube has free music for me without Youtube Premium if I want music. There's also no red flags anyway.

YouTube has a history of ignoring any and all complaints unless one of their larger content providers complains about something on Twitter and it catches traction.

When someone with a million plus followers has a Tweet complaining about YouTube go viral, the damage control team jumps in pretty fast to "fix" the problem. But if you don't have that weight behind you, they generally don't give a shit about your complaints, even if it's about something that they themselves blatantly fucked up.


I meant all companies in general. Facebook completely ignored everybody complaining about the UI changes for example.
