1 year ago We would have Twitter-level of outrage if he wouldn't do it. Imagine comment's are open. Once the tech news media picked up the drama there would be tons of people spamming "just don't" in any way possible. I think amount of critique posted on GitHub is already enough (including different repos). If it won't stop this stupid initiative, then it will be a clear signal to drop all Chromium-based browsers and ditch Google.
I suggest you promote Presearch and Odysee as alternatives to Google Search and YouTube in your own circles to begin with.

I do get you wanting people to genuinely see your ads, its like kind of fair. Someone hosts something for me, in exchange I see their ads, like a deal. But this is not what this is about. I do not see how a mega corporation like google could be in a valid position to whine about people abusing their friendly ad deal system. But now you try and achieve this in a way, thats not technical like "Are you human" tests, but that just relocates the trust to corporations like you. Truly evil corporations. And unfortunately, people like Ben Wiser experience no shame at all when working for companies like these. I truly hope you don't know how truly immoral google really is. But what do I know, maybe you just don't care as long as you have a good job.
Well, if you were only making a new system that restricts users and hands control over to big companies. But you also try and genuinely censor all the criticism about it. I tried to make a complaint with this and another account (that has never interacted in any way with anything) and both times I could not create an issue with the error message being "An Owner of the repository has limited the ability to open an issue to users that have contributed to this repository in the past".
I hope you realize how bad this system really is.
