- YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
- Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.

Shit you don’t want yet. That’s the idea of ads, trying to sell you shit you don’t want or need. Why advertise the stuff that you’re already buying?
Advertisements are for a large part about brand recognization. Even if you’re not going to buy the product, the fact that you remember the brand means the ad has worked.
Because an animated 5 second ad telling me to buy more dice and horde them like the goblin I am would work on me!
