8 months agoI think they saw it was kinda backfiring. If they make it inconvenient enough instead of impossible, people might give up? Or they are just trying to be dicks to people using ad blockers?

I would have thought the exact same thing. I like having videos play in the background so I wouldn’t have looked into it anyway.
Thanks! That’s pretty close to what I thought it was. However it looked like it was being referred to as a specific tactic or program. Thanks for clearing it up!
Can someone tell me what 0-day is?
I agree with you but not everyone has the same thought process as us. I’ve explained it to my entire family and I always end up “fixing it”. My family doesn’t care about alternatives because they dont like things to change. “Why learn something new when the old way still works?” My family’s thought process on these things just doesn’t make sense to me sometimes but it’s the conclusion they get to.
