Oof, you gotta find that FBI post (might have a different 3 letter agency) said that adbock is required for safe browsing.
Tell them users can’t click on malware ads if there’s no malware ads to click.
Maybe they mean ads by the creators themselves, which I do understand. While my Freetube has Sponsorblock, I am still exposed to ads - Sponsorblock is not applied to downloads.
That seems to be this guy’s MO, judging from Honey. Sell an invasive browser add-on via intensive youtube ads and convince gullible people they’ll get free money from it
The majority of ads on YouTube for the last 3+ months have been Pie, even after blocking dozens of them.
If you’re getting ads for an adblocker, it might be time to get an adblocker (but not that one).
It’s my work computer and extensions are blocked. 😔

Huh… I’m never off YouTube but never heard of or seen ads for Pie. I wonder when they will start showing up.
I still see a lot of Better Help ads and that sucks. I’ve gotten to the point where if it’s a YouTube Ad or sponsor, I ain’t buying it ever.
