YouTube is waging a war against adblockers...and losing.
  • 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.

    I’ve been using Youtube basically since it exists. There were no ads in the beginning. I’ve also always been using adblockers. I was surprised when I heard people say they have to wait for ads on youtube. I was like “What? Youtube has ads!?”.
