              low profit my ass, they make a ton of money off of creators, pay them almost nothing, demonetizes videos in favor of woke corporations and cram so many ads in a video its unbearable to watch. I support ad blocking

                  If they do this, I will buy a Huawei phone, which doesn't have Google Mobile Services. This insatiable greed for personal data collection and 24h surveillance is unacceptable to me. What were western countries saying about Huawei? It has strong ties to the chinese government and is spying on its customers? Government officials shouldn't use Huawei phones?

                  Now Google and western governments won't be able to spy on me because I will have a non-google controlled phone.

                    I'll just stop using YouTube lmao. They rake in over 8 BILLION a quarter in ad revenue even with people using ad blockers. They'll be fine just stop being greedy as 2 ads at the beginning of every video is already pushing it.

                      If they tone down the frequency of ads i may stop using a Adblocker on YouTube. But at this time, i see 2-5 ads per video, thats really annoying to see. While other platforms that put ads they do it in a stealthy way that i don't even notice.
