YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

I’m ok with the YouTube one. Twitter dumb. Reddit not that bad but should have just charged people.
Yeah, I already have premium to support creators I like to watch because I hat ads. Twitter can just fuck itself, never used it much at all. For Reddit I would have paid for Apollo annually if that was what was required to keep it going, but it’s apparent that making people pay a fair share wasn’t the goal.
Do the creators get more money if a premium user watches their video?
Yes, at lest they did, not sure if that’s changing now.
