If they want more ad views, perhaps we could just start a few videos playing on some old smartphones and leave them running all day. (Would that make them enough revenue to be worth the electricity use?)

Hi there.  Yes, after reading your reply, and quite a few others about 'uBlock' etc, I suddenly realized!!!
I've recently changed/experimenting with a new browser, and forgot that I always had the 'uBlock' Add-in active, when
previously using Firefox. I've now added it to my new browser, and all is fine again!!  I thought that things like those Ad
blockers only blocked the other modules of Ads from web-pages... I didn't know it would stop the 'mid-video' Ads??   :P ;D

We all like the thought of Dave making money from his Youtube posts, but I was blown away by this following guy!!
(I am NOT affiliated with this guy, just amazed).  He goes under the name of 'MrBeast', which is certainly a misnomer!
as he is very kind & helpful, and gives away most of his money, to help the general public. His only stipulation is to
NOT ask him for money, as it would snowball out of control.. (duh..). After research, I found out he makes up to
1.6 Million Dollars a month! from his advertising procurement!! Below is just one of his many Videos where he finds
people in various shops, to grab everything they can within a time period, and it's theirs. Often, the shops/items are
too big for a trolley, so they just have to TOUCH the items while running around!


He seems to be a legit sort of guy...  :-+

uBlock is great. Too bad, some websites lock their content, if they see an adblock.
We need an Adblock blocker blocker.
And something for TV Youtube would be nice. Other than a PiHole.

A lot of the time, a "F5 and ESC" breaks the adblock breaker if timed right. Then there are ad "hiders" like AdNauseam.
