    In fairness, those 5% of users probably make up a larger portion of views than their non-blocking counterparts…

    Wait… never mind. Fuck fairness. Fuck Google. Fuck YouTube.

      I’m guessing you’re underestimating the amount of little kids who are simply put in front of a tablet with Pepa Pig on YouTube

        I don’t think I am. The potential conversions from adults addicted to YouTube with plenty of disposable income (techies) is probably greater than the conversions from a little kid who gets to watch Peppa Pig for 2 hours a day.

        But maybe I am… who knows. Either way, Google doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt regardless.
