- 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 was looking at the comment section from the article and the following comment made me laugh loudly, thinking on how bizarre our current world is:
So a platform that is blocking adblockers is delivering an ad piece advertising an adblocker. Ha! That’s an ad I’d love to watch 😂
I wanna see that ad
You need to deactivate your ad blocker for that 😆
Every video ad needs to have the video uploaded to YouTube afaik. So it’s possible to find it, although I’m not sure if it also works for private videos.
They’d have to pay me
