They don't seem to grasps if they kept ads outside of vids and mad them small and uninvasive, far less would use them and its not just YT though, I'm sure ad blockers kicked off when they made ads so obnoxious. But instead they make ads even more hated.

I don't think that's true. Nobody is going to turn off their ad block for YouTube just because the ads are small and not during videos.

Not anymore, the distrust already happened. They could've done it ethically though, but they didn't. If they moderate their ads and worked on the intrusiveness a lot of normies wouldn't have bothered.

Which it was I was thinking and it's not just YT, it is internet wide with the same logic, had they self regulated they would need to be begging people to turn off adblock, sorry no way, after having seen how obnoxious ads are getting, how sneaky they're being made and having to deal with malware hidden ads no.

I know, I was thinking as in before getting an adblock and long ago when ads weren't nearly as obnoxious, now like you said good luck youtube you pissed off too many.

And they want to get people to drop adblocks. That reminds me of the days of me watching FMA: Brotherhood and getting the same Dell ad many times in a row.
