Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

    How can a new competitor acquire content creators to actually threaten the monopoly? Genuine question.

      They can’t. Unless YouTube fucks up big time, nothing will touch it, especially since they are the most “generous” with their payouts to creators. Only if someone steps up with a platform just as good as YouTube (UI, infrastructure) AND pays a bigger share, maybe it will happen. But video streaming is a thankless business so I personally doubt it will happen anytime soon.
