There had been enough leaks over the last 10-15 years of some of their income from YT to suggest that they indeed get paid very well, way more than many working class people. They aren't relying on sponsorship, they just also love to take it. And hell, there's big content creators that get paid enough to have several people working for them in return.

If Google can pay shitloads of money to people through ad revenue, then they can also make a profit off of the platform. Claiming they make no income is just complete bullshit.
YouTube made my viewing experience worse for the past decade already, and I'm not just talking about the fucking ads, which I don't see either way and never will be, regardless of what they do. If they think this is going to make me want to support them, then they should just drink the bottle of bleach as their next fabulous idea.
This one works very well. Of course it depends on the website but it supports a lot of them, including a lot of local and non English sites. I use it for a long time now, back then it was even still on the official addon store.
Does that fix it? I disabled the whole addon because it interfered with the anti adblock measures. Unfortunately many features of it are pretty broken at this point and the author even removed it from the Firefox addon page.
Why would you use two adblockers at the same time? That's just bound to cause problems. And that doesn't even go into the whole adblock plus drama.
I have some news for you. If were feasible, then it would've been adapted already. The reason that it isn't should give you a hint.
If MSR are so feasible then why is not one building them left right and center?
Just saying it works doesn't make it so.
When the world doesn't start buying these from China I'll make sure to not say I fucking told ya so, because I quite frankly don't give a shit, and neither does the world.
Their algorithm is generally just complete garbage. Watch a video from channel X and it throws everything form channel X at you. Watch anything from category Y and it throws any video about category Y at you. It also loves to push "recently uploaded" videos. Meaning some garbage 47 views video of some random idiot uploading some random ass video that might be roughly related to a topic I'm potentially interested in. It also constantly recommends me the videos that I've already seen, so I have to tell YT every fucking time that I already watched the video and don't want to see it again. Or all the garbage clickbait titles & thumbnails that are just the fucking norm apparently. I cold go on an on and on... I watched so much videos in the past and nowadays it's almost nothing. It's all just shit.
