It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

if enough people start doing it might be effective
Not sure how true it was, but there was a YouTuber claiming that their videos were getting entirely demonetized because too many of their viewers had Ad blockers enabled. So even though 75% of people were seeing ads on the video, Google was keeping that ad revenue, withholding it all from the creator because 25% weren’t getting ads. The claim the youtuber made is that this will probably predominantly impact creators with a more tech savvy / privacy aware audience, resulting in less of that niche content.
Anyway, this is anecdotal, but I wouldn’t put it past Google to pass the issue to the creators for the actions of their consumers, even though it’s not their fault.
google has way too much power. its threat to everything
Creators who care about privacy should not support Google’s monopoly by using YouTube as their platform of choice.
legit, there are so many platforms out there, idc which one they use, but pretty please, just mirror your content. Why’s it so hard 😵💫. The group im referring to doesnt even have the “money ads” argument as what most small creators earn on yt is peanuts.
