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

YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers
  • 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.

  • if i ever get banned from youtube for using ublock origin am prob switching to odysee

    • If I'm getting banned I'll probably circumvent the ban

    • My NewPipe app stopped working for a week and it wasn't difficult at all living without YouTube. There's tons of content in the world that can be consumed in its place.

      • I use NewPipe only despite having a current YouTube Premium subscription because the official app is bonkers. It's hilariously stuffed with useless features that can't be toggled off(games, shorts), half baked stuff like specific video quality can't be chosen for all videos by default( has to be on a per video basis). Oh, and every other time I visit some channel, asking me to join the YouTube's channel for additional perks. You just took money from the user to give them a sub par experience.
