YouTube's anti-ad blocker campaign isn't a "small experiment" anymore

Rozay, 31 Oct 2023You guys are so cheap! Pay the creators the content you’re ... moreI'm paying them with my time. I don't want to get 2 30 second ads for a video that's less than 5 minutes long. By all means, enjoy as google shoves more and more unskippable ads down your throat and keep being a sheep. If I want to support a creator I will find other ways besides watching inappropriate, scam, garbage ads.

already gaining billions even without anti ad-block policy, now google want to double down on people using ad-block because they are so big people rely on it which spark big confidence on such move.
but you know,, american stuff, always tend to reap as many profit as possible instead of staying stagnant and gain reliable number of profit, so nothing special, really.
yet i can't wait to see either see youtube to fall to the very hole they dig, or gaining even more revenue from this.
almost forgot: i've using adguard dns all the time, i did great job at blocking ads and suspiciously fail at blocking youtube ads, happened around one week ago.

Makes perfect sense. People need to support the service either by paying up (YT Premium) or by watching ads. No brainer.

The realistic truth is that Google and also YouTube are attacking and not respecting the privacy rights and the legally protected privacy of the users.
The Google "Therms of Service" are, in Europe at least, against the law.

They want us to pay, and they want to spy on us, and feed us ads. Can it get more sinister?
How about we predict what Google will be after 10 years?
Let me try: Google asks you to subscribe to their services or get left behind the competition, and they will handle everything we do- bill payments, other payments, etc etc. and ads will be there but non intrusive when you pay.

Looks like Youtube and Google isn’t making enough money selling our data to 3rd party companies and advertisers. Now they have to shove 2 minute unskippable ads down our throats to make even more money.

logout YT account, clear cache, enforce No Tracking policy on browser to let Adsense ID retrieve out of target data. Never use YT app or Home app. Not on Android Auto, not even Bard in the future.

Well my ublocker still works, i just need to purge all cache and re-update filters from time to time (And in privacy mode i don't even need to do that, it always works). If it stops working, i'm switching to freetube and if it stops working too, i'm done with facebook.

I had YouTube premium but they ban or censor all the creators I follow so why bother. if I use YouTube I just clear the browsing history and it works again
