    People keep saying (and corpos keep believing) that normies will just “get used to the ads or pay a premium”

    But everybody has a breaking point. People who already dislike it have left chrome or are in the rush to leave. Once people reach this point, they will start asking their more tech savvy friends or the Internet for a better way.

    I honestly hope Google will not change its trajectory because sooner or later, people will get fed up with their bullshit.

      I paid for YouTube premium for quite a while but cancelled because it wouldn’t stop recommending the same video I’ve “not interested” for too many times, and also for pushing far right propaganda and pseudo science when all I watch is gaming related content and some space and engineering content.

      Browsing the Internet without add blockers literally breaks the pages and makes one vulnerable to malware.
