I think people are underestimating how important the YouTube thing is.
If they succeed, the entire ad funded internet are going to clone what they do.
It will effect everyone everywhere, whether you run an adblocker or not.
It will benefit the large corporations and choke out the smaller people. It will consolidate control and wealth.

To you and @xenoclast@lemmy.world (and everyone else); What do we do about it? How can I fight back?
And given Google has the monopoly on ads, they have nothing to lose.
They have already succeeded.
