    Google will never get a cent out of me, willingly.

    If it gets annoying enough, and FreeTube stops working, I’ll find something better to do with my time.

      Maybe people will start torrenting youtube rips if they somehow manage to kill ad blockers.

      Yep, lol. Same mindset here. Although I doubt YouTube will ever do a hard cut on piracy. That would lead to a major decline in viewership and wouldn’t look good to shareholders.
