i genuinely don't understand how youtube as a company makes a profit

are there really that many people using the site without adblock? I feel like it's gotta be less than 10% of people

@gmsh most people use Youtube through the phone app or their TV

@noiob @gmsh yeah like, that's what i was thinking

it's because i use youtube on mobile and TV so much that i went out of my way to convince my parents to get us all premium, since it's much easier than having to fiddle with an adblocker that's network wide (yes, pihole exists, yes, i've tried it, no, it's not good for my use-cases anyways)

@EeveeEuphoria @gmsh on android and google tv you can get modified apps with ad blockers

@noiob @gmsh yeah but they're all either shady as hell, shut down, or made by cryptobros

...sometimes all 3, like that one app i can't remember the name of

@noiob @gmsh oh also you can't get those on stuff like, the switch or xbox, so

Follow

@EeveeEuphoria @gmsh yeah but a chromecast with google tv hd is like 40€
