A representative of the video hosting YouTube confirmed that the service has begun testing a system that prohibits users using ad-blockers from watching videos. It has been reported Border.
According to the speaker, ad blockers were never allowed on the platform, and YouTube video playback will only be disabled if you ignore the warnings and disable the blocker.
“We are very serious about disabling playback. This will only happen if viewers ignore repeated YouTube ad permission requests. “If viewers think they’ve been mistakenly tagged as using an ad blocker, they can write to support,” the spokesperson said.
According to The Verge, the warnings did not save YouTube from many negative user comments. According to them, video hosting “showed its greed.” Many viewers reported that they did not consider giving up ad blockers.
The video hosting rep said, “We want to let viewers know that ad blockers violate YouTube’s terms of use, and the alerts will help them understand whether they allow ads on YouTube or whether to subscribe to YouTube Premium for ad-free viewing.”
Journalists thought that YouTube should consider reducing the cost of a YouTube Premium subscription. According to them, this move will increase the number of viewers who want to quit ad blockers.
previous users complained YouTube stopped working while using ad blocker.
