They've declared war on adblockers, without any regard if that makes the experience miserable for all users. That is a move doomed to fail in the long run, and being the monopolist won't help them much as the day AI can be used to filter out junk from videos and reupload them on a decentralized platform using p2p is not that far from happening.
- autoexec 3y agoWhich ad blockers are impacted? I still don't see any ads on youtube that aren't embedded in the content.
- technion 3y agoFor the last few weeks uBlock on my devices seems to have just stopped Youtube ever playing anything. I've read plenty of threads about it but gave up and turned it off for the domain.
- ian0 3y agoWeird - works fine for me. Maybe they are rolling out a change in specific regions?
- squarefoot 3y agoThere are reports of uBlock Origin occasionally not working on YT, and I experienced this 2 days ago on one video. I can't recall which video was, I thought I clicked on the wrong video, then realized it was an advertising, checked if uBO was active and indeed it was. Happened only once to me, others were apparently less lucky. This could be the result of different tests performed to discover adblockers limitations.
