I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

I thought this was commonly known to be how human society works. Sometimes with just power and not literal wealth, but the same concept.
it’s also how you become well-liked/popular. you parrot stuff that other popular people say.

you’re literally parroting the “wake up sheeple” trope

It’s how people trust the suits on tv that have been wrong about everything, but sure, let’s let the establishment run the opposition to the president, see, it wasn’t their fault! It’s not like the voters made it clear they wouldn’t vote for their sell out. But since the suits said it was bigotry it’s ok to let the same people continue to run the opposition.
