YouTube tries to kill ad blockers in push for ad dollars, Premium subs
Ads are YouTube's biggest revenue source.
...is this still "news"?
No it isn't, but Google has ways to bump headlines with their name in it : )
This has been going on for ages already, why do people keep posting this crap
It's been a month, certainly not ages, unless you're an infant.
A month in the modern media climate is a really long time when it comes to a “story”. News moves fast.
This article was written just last week and it offers no new information. You have to admit that it is late to the party. Is the reporter going to next post an article reporting that there is fighting in Israel?
Has it been significant? I figured people using ad blockers are in the minority and most don't even know how to install it, so mainstream users are either fine with ads or pay for premium.
And then those who installed Adblocker themselves trend towards being more willing to tinker, so using ublock and updating or pushed to accountless options like freetube and newpipe.
I've seen this happen, but it's only sometimes.
So maybe my adblocker is updating to work around this block of adblocking somehow.
Supposedly Firefox + uBlock Origin will get past the block more often than not. I don't use Youtube enough to give any meaningful info on it, though.
Google is apparently fuzzing who this affects.
Not surprising that the Verge staffer doesn’t seem to know how to set up a blocker.
if you can't understand that they are only being informative it's not my problem.
Hey look, another new troll account with a single comment.
Not sure what your idiot response is on about, but I was referring to this
for one Verge staffer, YouTube now fully blocks them nearly every time
