YouTube has called in the cavalry and the infantry, and has incited them against ad-blocking extensions. It started as a test, but now their initiative has turned into a global offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you also received a notification asking you to turn off the ad blocker extension? Maybe you even got banned from watching further videos? If you haven't already, get ready, because YouTube is merciless this time. Whether you're using a private DNS server or a simple ad blocking interface like AdBlocker or uBlock, YouTube has implemented algorithms that recognize this type of use and immediately displays the following notification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
"Ad blocking services violate YouTube's terms of use." And then he goes on to list some of the reasons why this has happened, why ads are important, and of course adds a call to upgrade to the paid version of Youtube Premium. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also checked how it is with this and currently uBlock Origin still works in our case without changing the settings. But we know that it is only a matter of time before this will change. When a notification appears (now very rarely), we still have the option to simply hide it and continue viewing. Some users are still reporting constant harassment, so they had no choice but to turn off the ad blocking service for YouTube. Third users received an even harsher notice, namely that they will be banned from further using the platform if they watch a certain number of videos, unless they turn off the ad blocker beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
