Twitter being ruined by Musk.
Reddit switching limiting other apps, and now blocking google.
YouTube detecting ad blockers.
Strange choices.

I haven't seen any ads and I use uBlock Origin on Firefox. The fact that Google feels this is necessary just shows that their profit model is broken. They should be getting money from content creators and power users, not from end users, and their job is to make the overall partnership with content creators profitable for both.
