YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin

These services have had years to set up privacy-preserving micropayment systems. Instead they want your PI and a monthly fee, all the while using network effects to create defacto monopolies.

Why are these big tech monopolists so entitled?

I am talking about free and open source products like ublock origin and not YouTube itself. Entitilement towards youtube can be debated, entitlement toward uBlock origin is just bad behaviour.

If we're going through the hassle of micropayments and other unnecessary beggar stuff, when why rely on some big company to take a cut of the money? Just setup a bank account and host your videos on a simple web hoster. If you're not willing to learn how to use wordpress then don't complain about youtube putting ads.
