      Most normies I know watch YouTube with ads already. I sadly don’t think this will put much of a dent in YouTube.

        That’s the thing, right? They’re fighting a very small minority of users blocking ads/tracking this hard

          Well the upside is that they’re not actually trying to get it to stop, they’re just making an effort to please their customers.
