YouTube gets more aggressive in pushing adblock warnings with countdown timer

www.neowin.net YouTube gets more aggressive in pushing adblock warnings with countdown timer

YouTube is testing a popup for non-Premium users that urges them to disable adblockers with a countdown timer. It emphasizes the features of YouTube Premium so its creators can be paid.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

And yet I still haven’t seen a single ad in years or one of these new warnings to allow ads. Thank god for ublock origin
- I was using vanced, but last week it would load a video then buffer forever. Same thing was happening to my official YouTube app as well. I tried a couple different YouTube apps but either didn't like them or couldn't get them to work correctly.
  
  Firefox with u block works so well. I added sponsor block and it's like I'm using vanced again.
  
  I had this issue with ReVanced, I had to go into the settings and enable spoofing... Haven't had an issue since.
  
  Sure you weren't using extended? The dev quit at the beginning of the month.
  
  Gotta re patch and use revanced
  
  I had the same problem with vanced where it stop every video after 1 minute and 3 seconds. Updating Revanced Manager and creating a new APK fixed the problem, now everything works with no issues again
  
  I'm shaking my head here. I got received, but can't find the correct apk for a non rooted phone so it always fails to patch
