YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

    Someone who don’t want to lose their emails… In https://lemmy.cafe/comment/15974964 it was mentioned that their entire google account got banned for 10 years over adblocking youtube. I stopped watching youtube immediately… I’m not about to watch ads, but I don’t want to lose access to my 22 year old personal account… So many accounts are tied to that address, that I can’t manage to move to a different service.

    FML what happened to “do no evil”? Now it’s “make money with the baby grinding machine for all costs”

      I would be scared as hell to rely on Google like that. You are one automated Ai decision away from losing access.

      At least move your mail to a proper company. Jesus.
