The more you tighten your grip, Google, the more ad revenue will slip through your fingers.
They could have sat on 30 second ads every 15 minutes till the cows came home and most of us would have been fine with it.
They could have sat on premium family for $9 a month for years and we'd have been ok with it.
They had to be greedy as fuck until none of us want to use their services.
The line has to go up. That is literally the law. The fact that Youtube has a larger income than Disney doesn't mean it will stop. They can never stop. They just can crash and burn down eventually but only after making a few people very very rich.
That's the damn thing, the line could have gone up through getting more people. They decided less people and higher prices would win... it will not
Doesn't chrome have like a 90% market share? I doubt they can get many more people, therefore need to get more out of the ones they have
speaking more to youtube, a bunch of the other alphabet properties.
Not after they demonstrate the power of their evil browser. In a way, you have determined the choice of the ads that you will be shown first.
Honestly I don't think so, the average person won't bother with changing browser. So they might lose more users but they dont care about those users because they are were using adblock anyways
