I mean if YouTube wants to block ad blockers, that's unfortunate, but I also understand the motivation. But here's the rub. Youtube premium is still not available globally. I had a weird workaround that I used a long time ago through google play but when my current credit card expires, I won't be able to use that method again and all the benefits of my membership will go away. That really sucks because I actually enjoy the ads free experience and the fact that I can pay for it.
I don't understand how a giant company like Google hasn't figured out global availability of a service like this. Especially given that videos can be geo locked if needed.

Compliance and moderation is hard. It's also difficult to scale across jurisdictions.
- nstart 3y agoBut the content is present globally. We are talking about a subscription to block ads. If it’s to do with some YouTube original content, they can not distribute it here for all I care. I’ve seen that content and it’s awful. If it’s about tax collection, then that’s again weird because google will take money for any other service. I genuinely don’t understand it and I can’t find a single good explanation out there for it either. Sorry if that comes across as aggressive. I promise that it’s entirely just exasperation at this point :(
