    But then the ads become more useless to advertisers if engagement does not lead to increased revenue

      But do we have any evidence of that, or is it just speculation? My guess is that it wouldn’t make difference unless a huge percentage of people did it. Otherwise, just more traffic and money for google

        Don’t think we will. However we do see YT combatting adblockers so movements probably work. How else to get to a bigger percentage other than e.g. post here?

        It’s more money to Google but it’s less money for advertisers
