wants watch hours for ad money

Ads which can still be blocked fairly easily on Firefox, unlike in Chrome, which is banning ublock(& likely all other blockers) browser-wide next year. They want to make the firefox experience worse so people have a reason to go back to their ad infested browser.

Nah this doesn't make sense. You, and everyone else, will sit through five seconds of loading vs watching an ad. You know this, Google know this.

Occams razor is at play here. If they want to to be conspiratorial, they have better and smarter ways to do it.
