a LOT of people have no idea how any of that works. And I don't shit on them, I help them. Sometimes I install uBlock on people's computers without telling them because if I told them then whenever their printer stops working it would be my fault, but they often get surprised after a while like, huh I don't get ads anymore that's weird and great...
Last person I helped install Firefox+uBlock on their phone went back to the YouTube apps in no time, as far as I understand they just liked the app better. Evidently a lot of people don't mind ads that much, which is ludicrous to me.
If they knew it would probably stop working, as then Google would be motivated enough to break it 😅
