You are not entitled to ad revenue or client-side analytics. The fact they work at all is just an odd combination of historical missteps that will be corrected in time.

That is, if we can ever get people to stop using Chrome. Chrome is Google's Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Release open browser, add features, then restrict features like adding a default embedded "YouTube App" inside Chrome to get around ad blockers. Add default "Google Apps" apps to make Google services better than any other service you can use, because Chrome secretly loaded native pre-cached client-side, not web, apps on your computer.

It turns out your default content consumption applications shouldn't be written by corporations intertwined with advertising revenue.

It'll take the US government another 40 years to re-define monopoly scenarios capable of handling current abuses of power. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the land grabs, rising stock prices, and shuttered startups who can't compete with bundled platforms.
