But if anything, it shows that YouTube is not giving up on the idea of getting users to disable their ad blockers, one way or another.Īs for how this will reflect on users, we have commented on this issue before, and we stand by our words today. Like the last time, this test seems to be very limited and not many users are seeing the pop-up.
For that, they have to shell out $11.99 a month, or $119.99 a year in the US. Apparently, it has now decided that three videos is enough bait to lure non-paying users into its premium program. Now, YouTube seems to have softened its stance a bit. In May, some users reported seeing a similar pop-up bluntly saying “ad blockers are not allowed” and preventing them from watching any content, period. This comes a month after YouTube admitted to testing new methods to block ad blockers. Video playback will be blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.” YouTube tries to justify this by saying that ads help keep the service free for users and support creators. The message says: “It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. After that, the user must either pay for a premium YouTube subscription or enable ads.
#ADBLOCKER ULTIMATE REDDIT FOR FREE#
A member of the r/youtube subreddit posted a screenshot of a pop-up message that the Google-owned platform now displays, limiting the user to watching only three videos for free without ads. YouTube appears to be ramping up its crusade against ad blockers, as first spotted by users on Reddit.
