- YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
- Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
- Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.
The day adblockers don’t work anymore, is the day i will never use youtube again. I have no idea how people do it. I have a friend who uses youtube to listen to music at home. Every time there is a commercial she drops everything and runs to her laptop. It’s insane. Sometimes i accidentally click a link and the youtube app opens and i’m reminded that there have to be people who wait to click away these ads, every single time. It would drive me mad.
I just pay for premium. I’d rather pay the $25 a month to never have to see an ad.
