Facebook will force advertising on ad-blocking users

Nail on the head there. I installed an ad blocker to stop video adverts on YouTube. Everything else is collateral damage.

FWIW YouTube now offers an ad free service for a monthly fee, bundled with Play Music. $10/mo in the US.

Annoyingly, it worked for a bit when it was first released (as I was subscribed to GPlay Music at the time).

Was nice, and I actually started watching videos on my phone / chromecast more. Ads being back is annoying.

So are you suggesting that the sites that are collateral damage pay for my youtube red service?

Because that seems reasonable.

I don't understand the connection.
