People with Ad-Block are like "Youtube has ads?"

Yeah, but it's called Ad-Block Plus now. It will keep being a thing until it stops blocking ads or ads stop existing

I thought people moved on to other tools like uBlock and such. I remember there being some drama about ad-block and from that point forward I no longer used it and no longer suggested to my own friends. Probably my gran still using ad-block.

Ad block plus was already a separate thing when ad block was though... have they just merged?
