    I, and many others left using YouTube from the site once they banned adblockers. I used to watch an hour a day I’d guess.

    I’m technical, so I bothered seeking out alternative clients that can bypass the ads (Freetube, Grayjay, etc), but i still watch less overall. And after speaking to less technical friends and family, they said that the unskippable ads just got too much. So they stopped using it except for essential vids like tutorials.

    Too many ads = consumer go byebye now.

    Ya fuckin’ milked the cow dry, idiots.
