    Yeah they are, I noticed it get really, really bad this week. It’s an awful experience. But they’ll leave my browser before my adblocker does.

      The thing is, their anti-adblocking measures are still less unpleasant than actually watching ads.

      100%. Half the time I get blocked due to VPN or whatever I just close the tab and go with my life. The rest of the time I try all known workarounds. If those fail, I just go with my life.

      My hatred for monopolisation and enshittification is stronger than my desire to watch content on any platform.
