Anonymous, 06 Nov 2023If you are blocking ads then you are stealing from creators... moreMate, who wants to pay for premium feature on a free website to watch censored videos? I don't care the slightest about the creator, he makes money off of viewers. If I am forced to pay for the ads to go away I'll just switch platform and never watch him again. And since more people are smart enough with their money than to pay just to remove ads from a free website, more and more people will move away from YouTube and that creator will have to go and look for a real job instead of pretending in front of a camera. The horror!!

Anonymous, 06 Nov 2023If you are blocking ads then you are stealing from creators... moreIf the viewer isn't happy and YouTube doesn't care about the creators why should the viewer care? Creators can go get a real job instead of pretending and censoring themselves online. If I want to watch ads I'll go watch tv since there are better things on there than someone talking in front of a camera. YouTube has gone too far with censorship and now ads. I hope it does get shut down, it's not like it's good anymore for anything else than music videos and only if you don't have autoplay on since there will be a stupid ad between songs and kill the mood.

If you are blocking ads then you are stealing from creators in the partner program and making the case stronger for Google to shut YouTube down. How do you folks think those massive servers get paid for? If your not gonna pay for premium then watch the damn ads and skip when possible. I know someone is going to retort with 15 Billion REVENUE figure, but that's just that, REVENUE NOT PROFIT. I seriously doubt YouTube makes any sizeable profit. I suppose the good news is that you are all in the minority. Someone else will subsidize you greedy leeches with ads or premium. Bring the hate but bring it with a counter argument.

Just opened YouTube on desktop and now you cannot watch videos anymore even with adblocker enabled. You can't bypass the popup anymore. They have somehow managed to crack it down. F YT.

People in this comment section thinks running servers that hosts those videos come for free. I don't like Google either but everyone should have some common sense. At the least there should be a way by which you should support the creator who made the video you warch in youtube. For these reasons i have whitelisted adds for youtube, long way before these crack downs.

I haven't come across it yet. The add-on I'm using seems to be working so far. But if it does occur, I'll choose the third option - stop watching YouTube. I'm really not going to pay for YouTube and I'm really not going to watch a million ads.

All the people who want to pay to listen to music are on Spotify. You're just urging normal people to migrate...

As a paying YouTube Premium customer, I also get the message about ad-blockers. Why should I pay them anymore?

i added anti anti ad block list for ublock origin and these messages has stopped.
Google should make youtube premium better(better tv series , cloud gaming service similar to geforce now etc) if they want my money.

Cpt.Power, 01 Nov 2023Well extensions i have for other brownsers. Not for TOR.
... moreTor browser does not include any extension other than NoScript. If an adblocking extension is there, you installed it yourself, and by doing so, you are compromising the fingerprinting protection.
