If it gets more people to install uBlock Origin then good.
It’s all fun and games till google starts deleting gmail accounts. That is if the value of user data deflates and google’s ad-based business model fails. Which it may if some other party disrupts them. Seems likely as google lags behind in AI development. Though it may be for the best. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
If they do this I will be self hosting everything I need
I’ve had my Gmail account account since it was still in beta. If my account gets deleted, it’ll hurt because that’s the address everyone knows me by. But I’ll just move over to Proton, just like I moved from Hotmail to Yahoo to Gmail. I think I’m just going to reserve an email address now to be safe.
Buy your own domain at like $12 a year and never worry about someone deleting your email address ever.
I guess it won’t be long until Google finds out who is blocking their ads and finds a way to demonetize those particular views for the channels. We’ll have people in videos asking you to deactivate the adblocker so they can get paid.
