Youtube goes to war with ad blockers - how companies die
The internet is falling apart
The internet is dead. Long live the internet!

Nothing lasts forever. YouTube will eventually give way for something else.
I swear, it’s like all large tech companies are trying to out stupid each other right now.
I literally haven’t been impacted by this at all. Are they just going after one particular ad blocker?
It seems like they’re either rolling this out slowly, or this is just a small-scale test only affecting a small percentage of the user base.
Could be AB testing I suppose.
I’ll stop using ad block when YouTube stops making me watch an advert at the beginning of the video and then two unskippable ads one minute into the video.
Good luck with that.
Still no ads, adblocker works in youtube opened in firefox
I gotta admit I pay for premium. Like, I pay for all these different services like Netflix, hbo, prime, Spotify etc, but the one I use the most (by a lot!) is YouTube. I bought it most of all to not have ads on my iPhone. Now the creators gets payed, I never see ads anywhere, all is good.
For anyone considering it, I highly recommend YouTube Premium. Comes with YouTube Music as well, which is a perfectly fine replacement for Spotify.
