Because its a monopoly? Its name is youtube. And For the record, I am already using ad blockers but on some very rare occasions on when I don't somehow, its absolutely nightmare
So then how would your complaints be meaningful? Have you identified some way for youtube to lose it’s monopoly status?
One thing I've noticed is that Reddit is very, very aggressive about how it implements its telemetry. Not only is the endpoint that it uses for collecting events randomized each time you load a page, but it also happens that every event collector URL is a valid API endpoint that is used for other things. You can't block any of them with regular ad blocking tools unless you're okay with blocking the corresponding API…
I don't see ads on reddit. Where are they? I use pi hole and ad nauseam extension. Everything is default. I also have RES I think, but I'm not even sure what that does anymore, I've just had it for a decade.

It should be split from Google, same as Chrome. Google's adtech arm is largely the reason YouTube is so toxic nowadays

I'm not talking about ads, I'm talking about telemetry. It just happens to be that ad blockers can also block other resources as well - but not Reddit's telemetry, for the reasons I explained.
If everyone had a Solana wallet, and ads were natively integrated, you'd receive $0.10 for every one you watch. Consumers right now only get monetized. They see zero return from their attention being taken away from them.
And who or what decides how many ads I can watch a day? What if I have 100 VMs running Firefox and all of them are just clicking ads all day? Will they still show me ads even if I've exhausted my "solana payments" for the day?
