#instead of using drm and region locking bullshit to make legitimately paying for things

[emeraldspiral]

The great folly of sites like YouTube is thinking that "give us money to make the user experience less annoying" is a good business model and that when competing with adblockers that provide the same benefit for free they should aim to simply negate the ability of the free service so their own site remains annoying for non-paying users. Essentially trying to extort users rather than actually sell a desirable product.
