    And also, are people who are determined not to watch advertising going to be the ones that cave and buy some crap if you can force them to watch it?

      Exactly - If anything ever happens to permanently disable my ability to block advertisements, I’ll drop that service cold and never look back.

      I don’t think google cares if you buy stuff or not. They are just selling ads.

      But I agree with overall idea: if the ads become unavoidable, I’ll just stop watching youtube.

        What if… We all got YouTube Premium, is Google then earning more or breakeven, when they cannot sell or display ads? I mean, there are companies paying Google to display there ads, that revenue would be gone.

      I’ve seen it explained this will just hurt the metrics by which companies measure as effectiveness. Funny that another evil will be the one to tackle this one.
