    Most of what they use your data for is to serve you ads. If you’re blocking ads, that data isn’t all that valuable.

      They still have valuable data, they collect how interesting something is, so you’re even contributing to the algorithm and you essentially advertise videos you’re watching to other users with similar interests on the platform. People without adblock will come plenty.

      That ad blocking on Youtube makes you a worthless user for anyone on there is just not true.

      I would consider disabling my ad-blocker on there and use official clients, but they are just going so far beyond anything i could take with how many ads i’m getting then. I see it as their fault not being able to find an acceptable amount.
