re: #160 BeenHereAwhile

Suspect it is a ruse to force viewers to subscribe to Youtube. And it’s gonna financially hurt a lot of folk who have popular Youtube channels.

FWIW I’m not aware that use an ad blocker.
I have not subscribed to Youtube and see ads when I view Youtube.

But on some other sites popups “request” that I turn off my ad blocker, and/or register, or subscribe.

I’m not against subscribing like - LGF, NYTimes , and the Nashville paper.

But If I don’t want to subscribe, I’m cool with ads.

EFF this - registering in order to view content & ads is a bridge too far.

Rawstory won’t allow you to read their site unless you disable the ad blocker, but then when you do, they bombard you with so many ads that not only make it excruciatingly difficult to read the actual article but can crash the browser.
