> Every HN thread about YouTube and ads, we see the same ads/tracking/Google apologist fallacies:

If I'm understanding your comment in good faith, it appears to be dismissing a number of viewpoints that don't advocate for adblocking and labeling them as "apologist".

The intent of my comment is to call out that there are a number of viewpoints that do not consider the costs of running services and equate adblock as a binary "good" vs "evil".

My intention wasn't to dismiss viewpoints, my intention was to highlight what I view as fallacious arguments.

I can agree that there are those who do not consider the costs of running services, but I have never seen someone suggest that services "cost nothing to host".
