https://www.androidheadlines.com/2023/11/google-sponsors-ad-blocking-conference.html I would've thought Google could just tell Youtube not to crack down on ad blockers. Guess that shows how little I know about how these things work... --- "Life's a game. It's meant to be played." "Amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." ... Copied to Clipboard!

I would've thought Google could just tell Youtube not to crack down on ad blockers. Guess that shows how little I know about how these things work...Having worked for a "large corporation" before (yet still about 1/10th the size of Alphabet Inc), I can tell you it is amazing how little divisions of the company talk to each other, and how rare it is to have them all on the same page. We literally had two competing platforms running concurrently under the same umbrella for 10 years before the executives said "Wait, why are we competing with ourselves?" and approved consolidating them into one thing. --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain ...

I would've thought Google could just tell Youtube not to crack down on ad blockers. Guess that shows how little I know about how these things work... Step 1: Google invests in adblocking services that are likely to be the ones able to overcome Youtube's anti-adblock efforts Step 2: Ramp up advertising and anti-adblock efforts on Youtube Step 3: Interest in adblockers increases and adblockers compete to overcome Youtube's anti-adblock efforts Step 4: Google's investment in adblock services pays off One of the perks of having a monopoly is being able to create problems, then sell people the solutions because they don't have any alternatives to let them avoid the problems you created. --- This is my signature.

You think paid adblockers won't become a thing as anti-adblock measures become more sophisticated? Or that more won't go the route of AdBlockPlus and accept payouts from advertisers to let certain ads through? Or that Google can't figure out another way to monetize them?
