  • I see a lot of this, but to youtube, the value is with users that don’t use ad blockers. If the share that use ad blockers leave, youtube will just lose less money. Sure Google wont be able to mine as much data on you, but I would go on and say the money this brings is insignificant if they can never show you ads.

    YouTube does not care about the lurkers that use ad blockers, they don’t contribute to the platform and they don’t generate money as well. They would be way better off with us off the platform. I don’t want this to happen but I can clearly see this coming since video streaming is expensive even for a giant like Youtube




  • Thanks. I tried that before I saw your comment and I downgraded 2 network related packages (networkmanagwr applet and networkmanager openvpn), but that did not work. I saw the kernel got updated so I downgraded that but now my system doesn’t get past the boot screen. I’ll try again tomorrow and I’ll probably just install vanillaos to still have access to the AUR but on a very stable base and with good defaults. I had tried doing a ping but it just immediately said no host found or something like that. Sorry if I am vague, I don’t remember exactly and my computer doesn’t start anymore loll
