(cache) white_breadがPSA: AdBlock exists, its free and it blocks all YouTube ads and 99% of other ads on the internet.について記入したコメント

To be honest it's kind of humorous to read through this thread. You have so much support for Adblockers, then you have a seemingly smaller minority who loves ad blockers unless it's YouTube content creator - it's entirely hypocritical in its nature. If you want content creators to be paid - then you shouldn't use Adblocker. Is it bad on bigger sites because they're big corporations and not the little guy? The corporations pay the salaries of people who just like on YouTube are just trying to get by.

Personally - I don't have a YouTube channel but if I did - I think just getting people to watch my videos is the first challenge - so I'll take a view and a thumbs up happily, even if they've blocked the ads - because that's my best shot at getting other people to watch my video. It comes with the territory of trying to make s living on YouTube.

I'm being realistic here. Call it hypocritical if you want but In all honesty with the way that websites are designed these days overabundance of ads makes it practically insurmountable to get to the actual content. The thing is I'm very active in deciding what I whitelist. Do I expect people to be? Well honesty I don't know. I think we're going to see the advertising market change in order to survive in a post adblocker world. But I feel like there should be a happy medium.

Really though what I'm specifically arguing against here is op's mentality that they absolutely deserve content without the creator getting anything in return. The idea that "Fuck youtube content creators they're stupid because they aren't getting branded deals". Yes, use adblockers. I'll encourage it too. But someone that entitled deserves nothing. That's all I'm specifically arguing against. I'll encourage people to whitelist youtube because the ads are generally unobtrusive. I always set mine to skipable. Most channels I see do the same. Rarely have I ever seen one that's set to full ad only.

I understand where you are coming from. But you are still playing God on their content and directly deciding who gets paid and who doesn't. I use an Adblocker - and install it on my parents computers because I've found it helps reduce the amount of malware I have to sort out for them. I don't whitelist YouTube because when my kids are there ads can take them out of the playlists I've set for them.

The beauty about this time in computing is we can play God over whether or not we want to see. So do I care if Taylor Swift doesn't get money for her 7 gazzilionth view, absolutely not, do I care if Unbox Therapy or MKBHD are blocked, not really, they've already made it. These guys are earning more than your average CEO. And it's interesting, they cross promote with other successful channels, instead of giving a hand to the younger channels who are on the fringe. I do care much more when it's a younger channel that is creating quality content.

The fuck are you on?? Like seriously?!? What the hell are you getting your money from? Begging on the street or something? Do you go door to door offering to entertain people by singing and dancing? I use a fucking adblocker too but I whitelist sites like youtube BECAUSE I know what it's like to be the person making the content, even if I may never see the money. I do it as a fucking hobby but I'd never want some shit like you watching my stuff even if I liked it since you have this self entitled mentality that you owe nothing to the people providing you with videos or music or whatever.

For fucks sake do something else with your shitty life if you can't be bothered to take a little time and no money out of your life to give back something to the people making content for you. Or better yet, YOU go and try and make a youtube channel and make money on it and YOU come back here and tell me that shit again. Let's see how well you do.

in very crude terms it increases the overall satisfaction with the service this translates into more time being spent watching the videos on the website form the content creators, giving them views, subscriptions, likes, commenting on their video.

For example a person annoyed with constant ads might spend 1 hour on the site while another person with ads disabled might spend 2 hours which is twice as much. This user will watch twice as many videos and because he is not annoyed will comment more, like more and tell their friends about google services favorably.

Imagine person 1 will tell everyone - youtube sucks constant commercials I did not like it.

Person 2 will tell everyone - youtube is great I watched it for hours without interruptions its a great service.

Also there was studies about piracy online and user engagement and it was found out that there was no loss of revenue for companies from pirates because a pirate would almost NEVER purchase the content legally anyway so at least he will talk about the product to other people and market the product to others for free. There was no loss of revenues anyway.

What this means for youtube is that if there was an ad on a video an adblock user would just not watch the video at all and skip it this means the content creator will get no revenue form ads and no views, no likes no comments from the user. I hope you understand. this is marketing 101.

Wait. This is just entitlement repackaged into some type of rebellious movement. You are electing to go to a website to watch free videos. No one has put you in shackles and told you that you MUST watch these videos or you'll die. Your human rights are not at risk here. You're not a slave man. Get over it. You're just a person watching videos on the internet. The reality is that the technology to develop the platform and serve the video costs money. Now, YouTube knows that you won't pay so they offer a value for value exchange: free video if they can show you an ad (non-skippable ads are the choice of the channel not YouTube BTW. Anyway, this is just like TV. However, even with FREE you're still bitching and moaning about corporations when you're really just being hypersensitive. You just want what you want and you want it for free and the whole evil corporation thing just makes it feel more right.
