No it isn't. Unless you mean that for Linus? Which I could kinda agree.
I'm very dissapointed by this "news". Didn't expect that from you Linus, let alone few other random guys here. I wouldn't mind if he said something like, "if you whitelist us it will help us alot" or whatever, and not call people names. That is stupid.
He gets views, likes and probaly comments from adblock users, and they will show the video to friends, etc.
While we whitelisted adblock users, will also give something extra in return (well Google will pay him).
AGAIN, he fucking wins both time, what the fuck he has to complain about that? (Even after he apologized)
If he doesn't like them, why doesn't he block them from viewing any content from him? Youtube creators are becoming TV media, and I didn't fucking watch TV in like forever (except World Cup (football). Yeah, keep up with attitude and you won't see me again (or actually I won't see you). And let me remind you that I start to watch you way back when you like started working at NCIX, and loved your content, even more now, but if you keep up with this attitude towards some viewers... I will be gone in heartbeat.
Maybe you (Linus) need to scream more and call things names, like Stephano, and you will get more kids that have no brain in viewer base. You will be able to hire even more people and be like kingpin.
And I don't think it is that big of deal with AdBlock, If it would be, he would drop all this "Youtube work" or whatever you call this, a long time ago. And most of time AdBlock is fucking life saver, if you disagree with that then you probaly have no idea about security or have any knowledge about PC.
eTheBlack got a reaction from slatteew in Linus called adblock users scummy
