    By what metric will they lose miserably? They do not care about you if you block their shit. This policy will do 3 things:

    • Make a miniscule amount of people who generate no revenue stop using the platform (basically noone).
    • Make existing adblockers slightly inconvenienced for a little bit (again, google doesnt actually give a shit)
    • Make some of the less tech savy people who block ads either whitelist or premium up (this will happen and is the intended outcome).

    Google only gains from this.
