similar stats to elsewhere.
you should probably not pull numbers out of your arse
Google is not going to all this effort for a rounding error
Or maybe this is a proof of concept for completely blocking adblock across the web. YouTube is just a demo.
That can't really be done to people who don't use chrome. People who use chrome are morons though and might not realise they can just switch software.
When I read something like that, I don't think "hey those are actual stats, wow!". I actually think "hey those are actual stats, whoa!". Kidding.
You're being pedantic for no reason
It's a generalization and their point was not the numbers. It was that in the past people complain about this kind of atuff, Google ignores it and people move on. Google probably even still continues to grow.
However, I think things have been shifting and that may not even end up being the case. Look at Unity.

I left after over a decade. Haven't been back and won't.
We’re here, aren’t we?
I did fucking leave.
Plenty of people actually did leave reddit, myself included. It wasn't the API tax though, that was just the beginning.....
