People are installing and uninstalling ad blockers in record high numbers as a result of YouTube's anti-ad blocking efforts.

Somehow, I'm not even able to see ads on my system. I have firefox with ublock, sync on my three systems macOS, linux and windows. Not a single ad in years. I've tried to disable ublock, just to see the mess, and it still wont play ads. Lol. Anyway, I will stop watching youtube before watching ads. I always watch the sponsor thing tho.
Does your browser block ads by default? Some browsers come with their own adblocker.
I have a ton of extensions installed on firefox. Mostly pivacy stuff so I guess I have some kind of other adblocker active.
With sponsor block on I dont think the internet makes a cent off of me. I am probably just leeching resources. Which is good.
