The article here talking about record uninstallations of the ad-blockers not YouTube apps (and the crackdown doesn't affect them anyway).

The article is about record uninstalls for Blockers, not for Youtube. If anything it claims the Tech company is "winning"

Sure, maybe in general but it seems it was true with Twitter; it's just that the collapse has been slow. First they lost tons of advertisers, then some people to Mastodon and now it's valuation is halved and it's become embarrassing trash otherwise.

I'm also a bit confused by the article; I think the record uninstalls are users looking around for a blocker that works, or even trying different browsers, so I highly doubt the crackdown is working as well as it purports.

I agree, Facebook was dead recently, share price is now absolutely exploding.
