[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 1067323, member: 59283"] A middle ground isn't being sought on YouTube. Eyeo is simply refusing to do what's necessary to block ads on YouTube. They're taking an ideological stance that contradicts their started intent (namely: we'll block ads by those who aren't AA participants and ads by AA participants that violate the criteria). I mean, yeah, it sucks. The amount of ads YouTube laces videos with is ridiculous, but I'm of the opinion that YouTube's free to implement whatever anti-adblock measures they want on [I]their[/I] website, just as I'm of the opinion that ad block developers and/or filter list maintainers are free to circumvent any measures YouTube takes.
