so I’m pretty sure you’re not dyslexic

and already read the title and you know

exactly what this video is about and I’m

gonna try not to make this your

stereotypical Oh AB blockers bad you’re

killing the internet you’re hurting

content creators yadda yadda video I’m

gonna try to provide you with a bunch of

information and knowledge and just you

know unless you come up with your own

opinion and one of the first things I

want to mention in this video is a

blocker is in fact legal they’re taking

the court in Germany and the judge

determined that it’s the viewers right

to determine what they want to see on

their page if they don’t want an ad to

have a right to block it they’ve won the

lawsuit and obviously because of the

rule of proceeding if one court

determines that it’s legal then other

companies can’t take them the court over

the same matter so pretty much a blocker

is legal and I don’t think many people

actually knew about that lawsuit but it

is legal and I thought I had to start

off with that so once it was deemed

legal when the first things Google did

was they paid them eight hundred and

eighty seven million dollars to be

exempt from ad blocker because obviously

Google makes six billion dollars

annually from ads so they paid you know

just under a billion dollars to be

exempt from ad blocker they didn’t want

that to make a dent in their earnings

and that is that is insane you know if

Google’s willing to toss out that much

money I know the rich that’s still a lot

of money then this is a big deal and

that shows you the concern a lot of

businesses should have because it really

is cutting a lot of businesses earnings

down by a lot and you know the reason

the internet so great is because content

is free and the reason the content is

free is because it ads for most website

now some of you may not realize how big

of an impact ad blocker actually has in

2014 there were a hundred and forty

million people that used a blocker daily

a hundred and forty million active ad

blocker users and on top of that 50% of

people between the age of 18 and 29 said

in a poll that they use a blocker and to

be honest if ad blocker was not a thing

I’d be making probably an extra hundred

to two hundred dollars a month if I’m

just being straightforward and honest

with you guys it really does make a huge

difference and a relatively new app

called Crystal was released and if you

look hopefully you can see that’s the

number one paid out the number one paid

app blocks ads on mobile that is

ridiculous so companies do you know

there’s a plonker on computers pcs so

they’re not getting you know happy and

money they would from computers and now

they’re not getting money from mobile

because this is the number one paid app

millions

millions of people have it this is

ridiculous this is going to make a huge

dent and people’s RM earnings from ad

revenue I mean I’m not just I’m not just

talking about YouTube here I’m talking

about any company you know companies

that five years ago used to make a

million dollars off the ads they’re

probably making three to four hundred

thousand dollars off of ads so it’s

really affecting a lot of people and you

may not think it’s a big deal but this

is going to make a dent in a lot of

people’s paychecks like it really has a

huge impact on people and I hate to be

super negative like this but you know

100 million plus people are blocking ads

on PC on top of that the highest paid

app is an ad blocker on mobile and

millions of people are blocking ads on

that we’re it’s really just putting a

lot of people out of jobs you know

people make a living off this type of

stuff and by blocking it just so it’s

more convenient for us we’re really

screwing over a lot of people we’re just

being honest I know that’s not what you

want to hear I know a blocker is

convenient I’ll make your page load

faster and all but it really just it

affects people’s jobs it’s putting

people out of jobs if we’re just being

Frank now obviously because I’m a

content creator I’m gonna be against a

blocker but I am gonna shed some light

on it and it says if you have this the a

blocker for mobile crystal that your

Safari pages will load four times faster

and you’ll save 50% on your data plan

and myself personally I search stuff in

my car all the time and if this saves me

fifty percent on my data plan I mean I

might even consider paying that dollar

for it because I just I don’t know like

it sucks that it blocks ads and that it

hurts people’s income but at the same

time you’re saving 50% on your debit

plan according to this and we all know

people lie it’s probably like only

thirty or forty percent and then it will

also make your pages load four times

faster so like I’m not gonna sit here

and condescend to you if you use a

blocker I understand why you use it and

as long as it’s a thing hundreds of

millions of people are gonna use it I’m

just saying you know maybe white lists

YouTube or maybe I just you know a

person you really enjoy on YouTube watch

a couple ads do something I don’t know a

blocker sucks okay it sucks

and I understand why people use it I

understand why it’s a thing as long as

it is a thing people are gonna use it

which is why it is really controversial

and no one knows where the line is to

stop and one of the things that’s

actually interesting about app blocker

is when they first release their you

know add-on for Google Chrome they

actually did an ad campaign to get

awareness of a blocker out there so

funny how they block ads but to get

their name up there they actually bought

you know an ad campaign on Google and

paid money to have ads to get their ad

blocker out isn’t that ironic you’d

wonder too why Google would ever

advertise that how Google would

advertise something that would end up

costing them eight hundred eighty seven

million dollars it’s pretty ridiculous

but that’s the video obviously like I

said I’m a content creator I’m against

that blocker but I understand why do you

use it and I don’t use it but I I

completely understand why you do use it

you know if there’s no way to stop it or

put into it people are always gonna use

it and it’s just a fact so that’s pretty

much the video and meth equals death
