Out of curiosity....since ad injection is bad, what is the most common revenue model behind very popular extensions? Donations never make much money, and only ad blockers with enormous install bases can use the extortion model. Does anyone know how extensions make money if they aren't injecting ads?

I usually care only about specific series of videos, not the whole channel. Example: New movie reviews,…
Careful, you might accidentally get hired by Google
More like you might accidentally have Google decide your extension doesn't align with their business requirements and arbitrarily force you out of the Chrome store (after, incidentally, having made it nearly impossible for non-technical users to install extensions outside of Google's walled garden.) http://thenextweb.com/insider/2015/07/21/how-youtube-killed-...
