YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers

I really like this. There is a huge difference between,

“We make Foo. Foo helps you Bar the Baz. Check us out at foobarbaz.com”

Vs.

“Look at this scary Baz. Feel emotions about it. We want you feeling anxious and ill-equipped. Okay now here’s Foo. We want you feeling better. Nicer music. Smiles. Good emotions from you. What a relief. If you’re tired of being a dumb idiot who suffers from Baz all the time, we can fix you with Foo.”

Downvotes? Well, shame on me for thinking the two parent posts that used canonical foo-bar-baz would load The Jargon File and its Crunchly cartoons into the context. Correction accepted. >.<

HN asks for substantive comments, not memes or internet tropes. HN also asks you not to comment on voting because it's shallow and boring. Written guidelines are here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
