Anybody who seriously thinks the adblock shenanigans are going to bounce YouTube off the top spot for viewers is absolutely dreaming. Power users hate it, creators get more ad revenue, and everyone else is just hitting "skip ad" or paying to remove them.
Of course their behavior is reprehensible, but even *cable television* hasn't lost its grip on the market yet.
Not to mention that anyone who breathes a word about it on the platform is getting deboosted like I've never seen before. Buh-bye.
