Word play.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
It's not wordplay. They are literally two different things. Paywall: Content is blocked without a pay per view or paid subscription. You don't get to see any of it, or maybe just a small preview. Ads: Marketing content trying to get you to buy stuff. Ad-blocker: Does not do anything to subvert a paywall (see definition above), but blocks ads (see other definition above)

The herd mentality does not justify all.

I don't have cable because I can't block advertisements on it. I don't have streaming services that have advertisements. I pay more where available to not have them. I literally would not use 90% of the internet without an ad blocker. I do not do any avoidable advertisements in my life as a matter of principle. So they aren't getting my impressions anyway. Think what you will about that. You do what you can live with. I'll do what I can live with.

You're using the wrong ad-blocker then. You can still block ads on youtube. I do it every day.

Hey, thanks. It's not doing it anymore. When I got the message I checked around and found that people were complaining that youtube was downloading unwanted code to run and detect adv blockers, so I just stopped viewing. Malwarebytes not only blocks ads and tracking but also traps redirects, unwanted downloads of code and links to sketchy sites. so I am not turning it off. Thanks again.

I think I speak for most people who have read your response when I ask, well, then, what's the name of an ad blocker that blocks youtube ads without incurring the wrath of the almighty Google?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm using Ad Block and Ad Block plus. One of them ends up blocking youtube. It also pops its own ads lately. So I'm looking to move. I'll try uBlock Origin next
