Why are you happy for having to pay for an inferior product? If you believe 1Blocker is superior or extensions shouldn't use the now disallowed API, why didn't you use it before? Or if you don't care about this at all, why are you even commenting about this thing which people express their feelings about? Your apathy doesn't make their arguments invalid.
And you've illustrated another problem with online discussions, particularly since the ubiquity of social media. You assumed that my call to moderation in this debate is because of apathy, and presumed to read my mind. I'm hardly apathetic, or happy about it. 1Blocker doesn't work at all on Youtube, so I'm using Firefox for that now, where I can still use uBlock Origin. I'm disappointed, to be sure, but no amount of whinging, no matter how vociferous, is going to change this, so I'm pragmatic about it.

Did you read the same comment I did? They're baffled and they asked you about several different possibilities to figure you out. That's the opposite of assuming. "Your apathy" was conditional, based on the previous question.

Losing money and being disappointed doesn't sound 'great' to me!
Look no further for why our society is having such trouble coming to any sort of agreement on issues that matter.
I read the GitHub post yesterday, immediately bought 1Blocker, and moved on! (And it's been great!)
