"Ad Blockers are not allowed on Youtube" nonsense

[Mega Ultra Chicken]

If anyone got this message on youtube, you can ignore it completely. I bet they'll eventually force you to disable your adblocker, but it's not being enforced yet.

It's not nonsense at all. It's how they make money.

I remember I saw their graphs and can't remember where it came from. I think they first lost their money back in 2017(?) or 2019(?) then they already lost lots of their money back in 2022.

If you use uBlock Origin and it is still popping up so you cant watch any videos...

Try to purge all caches in your filter lists settings and update now to redownload. That usually works for me. And if it works then suddenly doesn't, do the same thing and it'll work again.

For now.

Screw your anti adblock bs campaign

Are you using firefox?

Well, at first, not logging into YouTube and using the Brave browser was working; sadly, now it's starting to give me popup warnings again. I've even cleared my cookies or whatever, and it doesn't matter. So, it's about time that I will have to watch stuff elsewhere; oh well.

Nothing else I could to fix on my own. So I have to wait some other options from reddit. If not, then Firefox.

tampermonkey and the youtube adblock script

install tampermonkey and search inside the extension for youtube adblock
the chinese/english 1 is very good.
read the description its the one that mentions blocks in milliseconds.

just don't use youtube simple as that

i never log into youtube... but i watch alot... now they are taking away the block promo x
the x was normal a few days ago.. then it had a time on it and now its not even there.. LOL

now i have to use reload page to get youtube to play

my browser has a No Script Lite.. is that worth installing...

i use uBlock origin and opera adblocker


i will just watch less youtubes..
and would of watched a lot less youtubes...
so who wins..

I really don't think this is the way to do it. They'd make more money charging content creators to use more storage. Give say 15 gigabytes for free and if you want to upload more you pay monthly / yearly subscription.

So. For everyone who prefers using Youtube on their phone. I suggest getting Newpipe if you don't have it already. Sure, no profile logins, but no ads either.

I am using Opera GX. I also turned off the built in adblock. So far purging cache has been working for me

I tried putting up with their ads and they can't handle it. They are like coke heads in a warehouse full of coke.
When the experience is worse than over-the-air broadcast television, you're doing something wrong.

[Let it all out]

I use Tampermonkey and some code to circumvent age restriction but also stop that stupid popup, well it no longer is blocked.

Well that's fine I will just stop using YT.

Yes their ads are obnoxious.

[Kobs]

Youtube makes money and PAYS you for your video (if it's good) with ads they post while you're watching, I know it sucks, but for those buying cars or going to far away trips with the money they received to make more videos PAID by youtube it's necesary, some live with it and very well

Get a few million views on your video and see how you feel about ads looking at your check lol

It's not just YouTube, several gaming sites are doing it now too.
