>A few months ago when they started cracking down on ad blockers People have been talking about this for almost a year now, I think, but I still haven't seen anything substantive. My ad blockers work fine, and so does SmartTube. Sure, some days I'll start up SmartTube and videos won't play, but then I'll see "Update" in the main menu, go there, see there's a new version with a changelog line like "Fixed [issue] with videos not playing", do the update, and then everything works fine again. I've seen absolutely no evidence that YouTube is actually successful at blocking ads, or that they ever will be unless they resort to some very extreme measures that probably have feasibility issues. It all seems like fear-mongering to me.
