Update 1/16 - Adblock has informed BleepingComputer that its engineers fixed the problem and released ABP 3.22.1 and AB 5.17.1 on the Opera and Edge extension stores. The same versions are currently in review on the Mozilla and Chrome add-on stores, and should be made available soon.
That would encourage competition. Completely disabling Adblock will be the first step in YouTube 2.0
I mean, perhaps, but it the infrastructure, creators and user base are pretty big hurdles to overcome. I keep my head up watching Odyssey, peertube etc… but they seem mostly fringe creators so far.
Competition is good no doubt
