... but most people do the same...
Let me break it down for you Dave. You would not need near as many views to make the same amount of money as you do OR you could have the same amount of views and make a ton more if it were not for Adblock plus and NoScript. Don't deny it because everyone, including Google, has admitted how much revenue it has "stolen" from them and from them means from you as well.

Show me the actual data to back up this claim, you have not done so.
I don't doubt it's had some impact, but like I said, I don't think it's a large impact for me and for other full time youtubers I know. The data just does not back that up.
You made the claim that because of Adblock I would only be getting pennies for my views, and backed that up with your income figures.
I have told you the reasons why you got those low income figures, and it's NOT entirely due to adblock, or even a majority due to it.
My (and others) $/view figure is orders higher than yours ever was, and that is because of how the youtube/adsense system and advertising $ distribution system works which I have tried to explain to you.
I have been using Adsense before Adblock ever came around, and $/view figures has only gone UP since then, so I have little to complain about in that area.
Could I be making more if Adblock didn't exist? Yes, but not a huge amount.
But I'm sick of repeating myself on this issue, and won't engage any further on this issus.
Then don't engage because you are wrong on some of it. If they can't stream an ad to someone you make zip as they make zip and the whole point in ADP and Noscript is that no ads are streamed. No banners, no bottom of video ads, no anything ad related and you sit there saying it has minimal impact is just foolish at best.
Now between you and Dave, who knows most accurately what Dave's YouTube income is?

You are honestly being a bit obtuse here and I have no idea why you are arguing.
Dave says, "I know how much income I get from YouTube and it's not zip."
You say, "You must be making zip from YouTube because Adblock Plus."

Fact is he isn't owning up to the truth and that is if he stopped all other avenues of his income EXCEPT for YT videos his income would not be going up IF the same metric was used as when he first started. Price you get per ad goes up but the number who are seeing those ads has went down.
It fundamentally won't work. The people using AdBlock are the people who don't care about the ads anyway, so even if AdBlock was disabled it would only make things worse. The advertisers would now be paying more money to reach an audience that hates them and will ignore their ads.
I am the advertisers' worst nightmare. I don't use AdBlock, but I don't care for their ads either. So by viewing their ads I am costing them money

I'm fed up telling you that you are wrong. Obviously nothing will convince you. I have data that backs up what I say. My income has INCREASED and continues to increase using the SAME METRIC as when I started.
Google is forcing us to make google+ accounts and invading our social life to comment on a youtube video and trying to take away our anonymous profile. They are also trying to censor us unless we share the same worldview as they do.
New information has been brought to me by one of the supporters of this petition that their account was suspened by google for telling people about this petiton. Just another reason to sign this petiton.
If you want to spread this petiton around Youtube, make sure to do it on a seperate account because others have told me people have been suspended for shareing this petiton with others.
This link is all of Google's locations given to me by a very generous person, it might help some people.

Enough signatures for what? If they get 300k signatures, will Google be compelled to change the comment system back to the old form? I don't think so.
There is nothing more annoying than a problem out of my control!
YouTube has added a new button called 'community'.
At least you can see recent comments a lot easier rather than going through each video.
