Or the ~100% of users who wouldn't understand anything you just wrote will shell out for a premium subscription.
Users don't need to understand an ad blocker to use it either, do they? That said, the predictable next step would just be for Google to turn on DRM on Youtube videos.

I got one that straight up told me my penis was too small to please my partner. I have to say that you'd think the supposed best and brightest that FAANG companies hire could come up with a bit more of a sophisticated pitch than "your peepee is too small".
Amazon Prime Video is not much better. We recently got an ad for an all black dating site. I’d expect them to guess our ethnicity a bit better (and the content was as 1950’s cracker white as can be), but ignoring that, they were literally selling us diapers a while back, and the kids have their own video profile.

I have to wonder if they never have due to fear that people will stop using the platform. I honestly will stop using it.
