I would accept “I work for the team that tries to detect ad blockers on YouTube, and slow down the process with bureaucracy.”
Cards on the table: for Google money I’d do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it’s an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a “free” product’s bad qualities harder to circumvent isn’t the ethical hill I’m going to die on.
For Google money I’d do it too…but I wouldn’t do a very good job of it
Yeah, I don’t really get the argument here. As much as it sucks, it’s not nearly as morally reprehensible as something like weapons. If you don’t do it someone else will. It’s not something a handful of devs are gonna make a difference in by boycotting and it isn’t worth being fired over or not accepting a job over.
But, who’s their competitor? They have none. All the other alternative have very specific community (artsy short film, science, etc)
Peertube exists
And it sucks, not a lot of them federate because video storage is expensive
I would take the job just to make sure we can sabotage it. And I’m not even affected by their adblocker detection; I just
