• YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

    I dont want to offend you, but you’re a drop in the ocean when compared to the grand total of Youtube users.

    Pretty much everyone I know outside of tech who has ever “showed me a cool video on Youtube real quick” has waited to load ads before showing me their phone.

    If you get outside, touch grass and meet real non tech people pretty much all of them need educating on ad avoidance.
