>But honestly, I think that if I was Google or Amazon...I would do the same?

Youre always a person, and every single decision is always signed by a person. Yes, markets should be regulated and this should not be up to Google, and yes there are incentives within companies to make people behave in certain ways, but it's always been a strange line of argument to me that this absolves individuals.

If I worked at Youtube right now and someone told me to implement that stupid ad blocker I'd tell them to shove it. People who are fortunate enough to be in demand at Google or Amazon have a non-negligible amount of agency, and alternatives.
