    Can’t blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking.

    IDK; I blame them.

    YouTube has become part of the world’s social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.

    Frankly it should be publicly owned.

      Well, that’s not in YouTube’s interest, so I don’t know how you can blame them for not being publicly owned.

      If it somehow magically becomes publicly owned, your bills/taxes will reflect that (as they do with TV in many countries, it just gets added to the monthly electricity bill, whether you use it or not).

      Okay. I can dig a publicly owned YouTube.

      Are you willing to spend your tax dollars hosting flat earth content?

      Far right? Thinly disguised racism?

      It’s ironic: but at least by paying based on what is watched, you give money to those you consume.
