It's not lost revenue if I was never going to pay for it in the first place.
If I forget my ad blocker or anything, the moment I see an ad on YouTube and I see "ad x/3" with like a 30-60s timer on it I just close the tab and move on. Fuck ads.
Yeah. I was once installing Linux, and decided to open firefox in the live environment and watch a video on YT. Ads. Close tab. Reopen tab. Ads again. Fk it, installed Ublock Origin in the live environment and just watched the video. No ads.
Yeah I'm not subscribing to a whole service just so I can watch 3/4 of my team's games and no others. I want a service I can subscribe to and see all my team's games, and preferably all the games in one league. If it was multi-league that would be great, but I'd rather subscribe to one league at a time than subscribe to all leagues with randomly blacked out games.
Until then - and I know it's unlikely to ever happen - I won't be spending money on watching sports on tv
