Showing ads is the main component of YouTube's income, so it's no wonder that users don't like the use of their blockers at all. That's why it recently started fighting against AdBlocks and similar programs, and it seems to be fighting on several fronts. While somewhere he is trying to convince ad blocker users of the good news through pop-ups that are supposed to de facto ask them to turn it off, elsewhere he has taken a much more radical step in the form of blocking playback until the blockers are turned off. Now, blocker users have started to notice another weapon that YouTube has pulled out.

Specifically, we are talking about the slowdown in video loading, which occurs both in third-party browsers and in Chrome. At first, users explained this by a bug that Google will soon fix on YouTube, but instead of fixing it, it came out with a statement that the slow loading of videos is not a bug, but an intention and only occurs when an ad blocker is active. To return the loading speed to normal, you need to either turn off the blocker and continue watching with ads, or switch to YouTube Premium, which does not contain ads, but is logically charged. Whether these steps will actually contribute to the eradication of ad blockers, however, only time will tell. Already, opinions are emerging that DIYers will come up with a solution that Google will not be able to eliminate, and all its efforts will therefore be in vain.
I just noticed that you can no longer download videos from YouTube via icambmobile, yay ;(
Ok, if the ads were at least of good quality or relevant. Tvl Google and it offers inserts to fighters. For others, it is filled with solar panels and others. Mainly it is full of scam ads. No job.
Like women's pads, they are still golden!! But when Honza Nedvěd from Inizio blows up at you, you'll understand that jumping out of the window isn't such a stupid idea after all :D
For a long time, I tolerated the ads, thinking that it was actually a tax for being able to watch the videos. However, since a certain time there have been so many ads and many times in such stupid places that I downloaded the blocker and started using it. I have some lesser-known blocker and so far I haven't registered these messages even during daily use, and I don't notice any slowdown either. So we'll see how long it lasts. It's a shame that YouTube basically has a monopoly on videos and it's just about everything. Competing networks aren't nearly as comprehensive, so there's usually nothing there for me to look for.
Exactly, I couldn't have said it better. That's why I also decided for him - but they immediately "squeaked" me and kept sending me messages about turning it off :o( I won't pay anything - you have someone else who is rich in money for that, we who are being ripped off can't pay other billionaires into their pockets!§
And may I ask what locator you are using? In general, I don't have a problem with a certain amount of advertising, but what most sites, including YouTube, have been showing lately is unbearable.
I don't listen to YouTube or it's completely exceptional and the ads are really brutally intrusive. If this is the future of the internet, then you're welcome, dumpling.
Why is it never written in those articles that it is the video creators who determine when and how much and what type of ad is shown?? (Type in the sense of unskippable, long, short, every 3.5 minutes). That's why I threw out a number of channels.
Btw at work I have Bing with some default blocker and it works on 100% while at home Safari and no adblocker 😔
Get a shack with a garden and some YouTube will be stolen from you. I'm starting to find out that there are better ways to have fun and the Internet is slowly but surely turning into a tool for work.
