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?

It’s even worse than that. The ad is often a fake version of the website you are looking for. Ublock protects you from phishing and malware.
Very often do I have to bypass the wrong links as well for competitor services I wasn’t looking for, because I explicitly wrote the service I had chosen.
It’s even worse than that, Facebook and Google have been selling “impressions” that are actually bots for decades at this point.
