Fun fact: Ublock Origin still blocks ads, and every time YT changes the system to make it not block them, Ublock just updates a few hours later.

YouTube: "Ad blockers are against our Terms Of Service"
Also YouTube: allows ads that are grossly misleading, sexual content, scams, click farms, etc.

This was a tremendous blunder for YouTube. YouTube has forgotten their place in the entertainment and streaming scene. If anything, this has made everyone double down on using AdBlockers. They've played themselves.

The fact that people are more willing to pay for a premium adblocker instead of paying for youtube premium is a clear sign that this war is already lost for youtube.

Youtube ads used to be tolerable. But when YouTube started chaining ads together as well as making them unskippable, that's what drove me to get an adblocker. The fact that their ads became more aggressive, more intrusive, and more disruptive just further added reason to have an adblocker.

A beautiful piece of irony: I recently started getting those "3 video limit" pop-ups on YouTube. I Google-search a solution. Google sends me to, of all places, YouTube which has a plethora of vids about ad-blockers. Double-down irony: YouTube's algorithm has determined that I really like videos about ad-blockers and now proposes more and more of them. So now, in the end, I have an updated ad-blocker running on YouTube and no more ads or pop-ups. Well played, YouTube!

Moral of the story: Don't anger the internet. You WILL regret it.
Edit: Notice how YT raised the price of both the monthly and annual YT Premium subscriptions, and now they're trying to prevent ad blockers. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

“Adblockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service”
Okay, and YouTube violates our safety and privacy.

The problem is not ONLY the amount and frequency of ads. The fact that youtube finds every excuse to not pay the creators also contributes to the bad blood.

Speaking from personal experience, the first time I ever installed and used ad blocker for YT was when they (fairly recently) changed their ad mechanics, making it impossible to fast forward to run all the ads in advance, then rewind and view the content uninterrupted. This coincided with also dropping banner ads, which unlike video ads, do not stop the video in uncomfortable spots like in the middle of a sentence. Like many have said, YT just does this to themselves.

I think a lot of us didn't mind the 'free with some advertising' nature of online stuff until 'some' became 'a lot' due to greed. I've been using adblockers for years because I can't stand getting an intrusive ad every paragraph of a news article or an unskippable one at the start of a video, even when the video is sometimes shorter than the ad itself. In recent times a lot of websites launched these anti-adblock popups and I've seen then backfire left right and center. I was honestly surprised that YouTube even tried this method at this point, seeing how unsuccessful it has been for other websites.

The fact that people are prepared to spend money to remove ads, but not to YouTube is a clear sign they’re doing it wrong.

I’ve personally did not mind ads at one point, but it’s gone so bad that even listening to music halfway in they sometimes play ads. And if you’re putting your niece or nephew or child to sleep . and then a Wendy’s ad kicks in that’s very frustrating.

I was relatively late with adopting ad blockers. I used to read a lot of webcomics, and webcomics had a little scheme where creators could buy part of a regular ad space and advertise their comic. You could discover a lot of new comics that way. So I tolerated other ads. But eventually the greed became too much, and ads started pushing too far. I'd be browsing some site and be startled by a pop-up ad. Youtube started running ads in the middle of long videos. I still see a lot of complaints on a popular video sharing site that people have to watch a minute of ads to watch a video that's maybe 10 seconds long. And they're loud. A long time ago some ad guy discovered that a good way to get people's attention is to scream, so that's what most ads do these days. I watch YouTube on my phone as well, and I don't have ad blockers there. Recently YouTube started running two ads before each video instead of one. Fast forward through a video? Another two ads, for some reason. Want to listen to some music? Yeah, here's another ad after the first song of the album. Playlists? Worthless. And here's the real kicker: These land mine ads that are sometimes 10 minutes long. I put on a nice album and put my phone down while I'm trying to chill, and what do I get? A 10 minute talk show. Or a garbage French rap track in the middle of my chill music.
People are OK with ads if they don't suck. But it seems to be the nature of business to push things too far. Notice how no-one has a problem with YouTuber endorsements/sponsorship? Because it's non-invasive, fits into the style of content, and we know the person we're watching is getting the money directly, as opposed to YouTube's practice of "demonetizing" channels and then still running ads on them.

The biggest problem for them is that unlike most of the corporate heads in there, ad blocker programmers are smart.

I don't see ad blockers as a convenience but a necessity. Internet ads have a history for being invasive, deceptive, or straight up malignant. And Google has a major chunk of responsibility for generating this perspective.

A few weeks ago I reached the end of my tether with YouTube ads. I’d had Ad-Block Pro on my PC browser for ages but not on my mobile devices. I ditched the apps after the ads become insufferable and added Ad-Block to my phone and iPad.
It’s been so much nicer without ads blasted relentlessly into my face. I’ve started supporting creators I like on Patreon too.

Oddly once they began enforcement of their Ad-block terms, I would use Screen magnifier and shrink the browser window to increase the thumbnail sizes - enable sound and disable closed caption - and just watch that way from an enlarged thumbnail. About 2 weeks later I can now watch 'most' videos normally with no ad block and NO advertisements. It seems whatever information they collect is more important than ad revenue.

Showing ads on "Demonetized" videos and not paying out creators was the turning point for me. Thankfully, it's no more than a game of cat and mouse.
