    The majority of ads on YouTube for the last 3+ months have been Pie, even after blocking dozens of them.

      That seems to be this guy’s MO, judging from Honey. Sell an invasive browser add-on via intensive youtube ads and convince gullible people they’ll get free money from it

      Huh… I’m never off YouTube but never heard of or seen ads for Pie. I wonder when they will start showing up.

      I still see a lot of Better Help ads and that sucks. I’ve gotten to the point where if it’s a YouTube Ad or sponsor, I ain’t buying it ever.

      If you’re getting ads for an adblocker, it might be time to get an adblocker (but not that one).
