"Ad Blockers Are Not Allowed on YouTube" warning showing up now

[Marc_LFD]

I read about this months ago, but now it started popping up and after I close the pop up, the videos keep working just as fine so what's the point of it? Try to annoy people to not use adblockers?

I've tried using solutions provided here: https://gadgetstouse.com/blog/2023/05/15/bypass-ad-blockers-not-allowed-on-youtube/

Yet that still shows up regardless. Whatever the case, YT videos work ad-free and that's what matters.

yeah the same nagging of some sites and Game Boy Advance forums.

Oh they've been doing this for over a year now. They must have updated it so your adblocker doesn't stop it anymore. No issues here on Ublock.

Now Youtube wants to decide what I use on MY computer?

Middle finger for them.

My computer, my rules!

The real point is that YT don't want to share the income from ads with content creators. They're also breaking the visitor counter on a lot of channels, with a so called "bug".

 

[impeeza]

yeah, that's a cat-mouse game between the YT servers and the adblockers, may be the rules will no needed to be manually added when adblocker update his ruleset.

Firefox plus Ublock Origin still working without issue.

As long as I pay for the connection to my Internet provider, I will continue to block every single ad I can. Ads also carry malware risks, so fuck ads.

uBlock Origin here, and never seen a single pop up with Youtube bitching at me.

Haven't seen any of those pop-ups just yet. I'm using uBlock + Firefox on PC and Android.

To be honest I'd be happy to pay for Premium (especially since they started to roll out the 1080p Premium Bitrate options now) but Google only offers three methods of payment here of which all three aren't options I can't or don't want to use.

The first option is to use a Credit Card (could get one but don't want one), the second is to use Google Play Store gift cards which means going out of my way to regularly get new ones and the third one is PayPal which I can't use anymore because they closed down my account as having violated their TOS by alledgedly opening it up when I was underage which I couldn't have done because they actually wanted to see my ID when I opened up the account to prevent a minor from opening one up.

r I close the pop up, the videos keep working just as fine so what's the point of it? Try to annoy people to not use adblockers?

It's probably a mixture of trying to annoy people out of using blockers + maybe guilt-triping a very small amount of users + scaring very few people out of using blockers.

 

[anjanimal]

Yeah, it suckss.
I can't use Enhancer for Youtube now, but for some reason YT don't detect AdBlocker Ultimate.

Diversion and skynet are still gucci

but im curious how long both will hold up

 

[SylverReZ]

I don't have this message pop-up on me.

uBlock Origin here, and never seen a single pop up with Youtube bitching at me.

I use uBlock with Firefox too, but I just started getting this popup as well within the past couple hours.

 

[Spring_Spring]

Strange, though I haven't seen it. But if they one day prevent people using adblockers from using youtube, they will lose most of their viewers.

The place is not exactly improving day to day anyway. I think its future could be uncertain.

Yep, I have uBlock Origin installed, too.

I thought this pop up wouldn't display, but turns out it does.
