Most users will capitulate. Netflix, Spotify, etc... only needed to be slightly more convenient than pirating to be successful.

Ironically, ads on android police are 10x worse than the ads on YouTube (nomad blocker on Safari mobile)

Ditto for network TV.

At least for me, the ads in and of themselves are not a problem on YouTube compared to lots of other places.

As Trav said, I think users will capitulate.
