    I mean if they really didn’t care about random visitors and cared more about making people watch ads. There’s a very simple way to accomplish that, they only let you watch if you’re logged in, and give your account a temp ban if you’re blocking ads. But since they’re not doing that they obviously see some value in anonymous visitors.

      I’m thinking anonymous visitors are harder to track, and ad-watching farms are probably a thing too, I imagine.

      I’m guessing the value is simply a semblance of goodwill, to not be as transparent about their ad-watching mania. Maybe?
