“We want to inform viewers that ad blockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service, and make it easier for them to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience,” the company said in its email to The Verge.
Wow, thanks, YouTube! I always had such a hard time disabling my ad blocker - I’m so glad you’ve made it easier for me!
Really, though, I don’t see this ending well for YouTube. I’d bet there’ll be an ad blocking option that works to bypass this within a week.
Within a week? I think my ad blocker already handles it; I haven’t noticed ads on YouTube ever, on my own devices, and haven’t seen their latest messaging either.
It’s the sheer patrimony of statements like these that really annoy me. I get that things have costs and they also have to deliver a profit; that’s just business. But why can’t they just have the guts to openly say that rather than dress it up in all the bullshit
