• 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.

    Until they start properly filtering ads they accept they get auto disabled in my side. No weird crypto or porn ads for me, thanks.

      Even the shitty mobile ads of “someone watching prerecorded gameplay and commenting it”.
      How obvious can you be?! “Oh wow, these 2 different people playing EXACTLY the same and saying almost the same thing”.
      That’s not an ad.
      Never mind that the gameplay in the ad is an extremely minor part of the game. The rest is some sort of city-builder with mtx shortcuts.

      It’s just whaling
