Comment on YouTube now flooding your ad-block with "fake" ads that slow the browserparent

Most people know some dirty nerd that can provide help here, so even people not so affine with tech ("normal people") have them installed by now. Everyone that had an ad blocker once will never want to go back.

Ads do finance some infrastructure, especially platforms like youtube and large commercial social media sites. But that is not all infrastructure at all and I believe there is a strong ethical case that you should protect people from unwanted advertising in any case.
