    So today I’ve seen this article saying YouTube failed and another saying they’ve succeeded because of record uninstalls of adblockers.

      because of record uninstalls of adblockers

      That’s how you know it’s bullshit, because every major ad blocker allows you to disable per site. There’s no need to uninstall. The claim that they’re being uninstalled was written by uneducated propagandists.

          You vastly overestimate the average user. Probably installed an ad locker cause heard from a friend or coworker. Then stops letting them watch YouTube so they uninstall. Go to a non techie and browse the web it’s insane.

      inb4 those uninstalls were just because they were installing better adblockers. /j

      Considering that, after Netflix enabled anti account sharing, they got an increase in subscriptions, I’ve lost faith in humanity, and believe YouTube will succeed in the same way
