    The thing with advertising is that the advertisers make more money in product sales from people who watched ads than they spend telling YT to push their ads. That’s just how the advertising business works.

    In other words, either the viewers pay youtube not to show ads, or the viewers pay the advertisers to pay youtube (in a roundabout way).

    So it’s just you paying in both cases, unless you use an adblocker :)

    PSA: firefox + ublock origin blocks youtube ads even on mobile (on android at least)

      People on iPhone can use “Firefox Focus” it’s a browser with no tabs, just a single window with Adblock.
