How much YouTube is going to annoy users – either you turn off Adblock, pay Premium or you are unlucky and don’t watch the video


Advertisements are everywhere, and it’s no wonder that many people already have them crawling up their throats, ears and noses. On YouTube, a blocker is practically a must, otherwise you’re watching ads rather than the intended content.

And a bunch of Google tycoons, directors and executives are affected by it. Therefore, a limited sample of users is now being tested to see how they will look when they are prevented from using an ad blocker, such as AdBlock. A window pops up saying that blockers are not enabled on YouTube and you either turn on ads or subscribe to YouTube Premium, which is ad-free. There is also a hint that the site is still free for everyone thanks to advertisements.

Some users have reported that they just close the annoying window and keep snooping, but this will likely be addressed soon. Google sometimes tests what users can endure, so for example there was an attempt to limit 4K content only for YT Premium users. We will see whether the message about unauthorized AdBlock spreads or remains only with the test. However, we would expect that if Google were to implement it, there would be such an uproar that it would end quickly again.
