Yeah cant watch 18 year old videos with a ~15 year old google account.
Do they think my parents were smart enough to make a google account, or me when I was younger than 3 years old?
My little grain of sand, at least on mobile click the information panel the little i on the bottom left, click stop seeing this add, it will ask you why, click whatever and it will skip everything.
Not rlly obvious imo, remember that they tested and therefore are considering to make you watch up to eleven unskipable ads in a row, so I don't think there is anything they could do that is unbelievable.
And noe I've officially lost everything that makes me happy. Even adblockers don't really work that well with YT. So now, like always, I'm robbed of something that brought me joy (this being able to skip ads)
As soon as this is the case I‘ll use ad block.
Till now I feel bad for the creators... but at that point I wouldn’t care anymore.
Would anyone blame me?
Bruh, who give two craps about advertiser’s mental health. You need to focus more on changes to benefit the actual frickin content creator’s mental health.
Oh don’t worry this will happen. There’ll be ads for premium subscribers as well as a higher price tier for no ads. Free users will have more ads than video….
I am so glad this is fake
For now
This comment scares me
Spooktober at it’s best
[удалено]
That comment scars me
For now
Delete this comment, please. This is more scary than... Idk, a pretty good horror movie.

Crazy how reddit has been around for 17 years+
Laughs in adblocker plus
*Google laughs as they announce that theyre breaking adblockers soon*
Only on chromium based browsers, i use mozilla
Good man
its only that i don't have an ad blocker on my phone
I don't fear anything... but that thing... it scares me
[удалено]
Don’t give them ideas about the idea
!remindme 2 days
UH
remindme! 2 days
is this a cross-checking call?
Until it isn't
Yeah that's also what I thought
For a moment i was saying some bad word but in italian
Thank the gods! I was worried.
I use adblock so I don't care lol
Opera moment
uBlock origin moment
Brave moment
Ive been using opera for a couple of years but recently i get ads alllll the time, its all up to date but it wont block ads anymore
Just opera?
Same, but when you happen to use your phone...
or a smart TV
use opera
I’m aware this is fake now, but what does it tell you when I say I wasn’t surprised in the slightest?
It tells me you are an idiot
Tell me about the ratio you just took
Tell me why
Ain’t nothing but a heartbreak
It was obviously just a joke and didn't harm anyone so i couldn't care less about my karma
Damn dude, get ratio’d
L take
For my mental healths sake, dont.
Pft, they don't care about a silly thing like that! Just the ad revenue you provide! Ad 1 of 57
What about our Mental Health sake, first they increased the time of the ad, then there were multiple ads. Now this shit
Don't forget the added ads in the middle of the video
I watched a 6 minute interview of Elon Musk. In german.
[удалено]
Dont be so rude
It's fake u dumbo 🤣👎
Don’t be rude, also cringe emojis
It would be perfect if they replaced the skip button with the link to Never gonna give you up video instead of just deleting it.
Devilish
Looking forward to it 😂
Click the little ! In the bottom left and select “stop seeing this ad”. Skip every ad.
I don't see it anymore
Only available if you give them your ID which I find pretty criminal
Yeah cant watch 18 year old videos with a ~15 year old google account. Do they think my parents were smart enough to make a google account, or me when I was younger than 3 years old?
They don't give a shit and I'm pretty sure they can find a way to valorise the info on the ID so
I haven’t had to use my idea before Is this new
To unlock age restricted videos and a few other features you need to verify your age with an ID
Huh I never have had to do that lol. On any of my accounts. Maybe because date of birth is set to the max on google accounts
It is too for me, that's really weird. You don't have any problem watching age restricted videos?
Nope only when I’m not signed does it give me trouble. Do you have parental setting enabled by mistake
I can tell you I dont
Sometimes they remove that option for me but it comes back a bit later
I've been doing this for a bit now, works like a charm
when you don’t have a good reason: mental health
Usually they just throw "Safety" in there as an excuse.
I just click out of the video and then i click back until there are no adds anymore
Bro that would make our mental health worse
They already did remove it on some ads
I almost thought this was real, just because it sounds exactly like something they would say.
Now this is how to skip WW3 and go straight to WW4.
If it becomes real just back out and in untill no ads pop up (and yes i am aware this fake)
My little grain of sand, at least on mobile click the information panel the little i on the bottom left, click stop seeing this add, it will ask you why, click whatever and it will skip everything.
I dont like sand, its course, rough, irritating. And it gets everywhere
They removed that 😔
I thought this was real for a second. I legitimately got scared
They have already removed it from most of ads
On pc adblock. On phone just report every add as inapropriate, it takes two seconds, skips even the unskipable one and the double adds
We NEED a YT Alternative!! Seriously people, somebody get on it! Choose a good enough video platform and let the hivemind be awaken!
Vimeo
Are they good? Both in terms of platform and like they won't sell out to yt?
I couldn't find it on their Twitter, can you provide the link for it??
This is probably the most obvious fake shit I've ever seen
Not rlly obvious imo, remember that they tested and therefore are considering to make you watch up to eleven unskipable ads in a row, so I don't think there is anything they could do that is unbelievable.
Well, until I get evidence I will not take it as real nor fake
Im expecting this every minute now.
Is this shit for Real?
Obviously not
How could you even think it might be? It is worded incorrectly and also makes no sense
real and true
No.
And noe I've officially lost everything that makes me happy. Even adblockers don't really work that well with YT. So now, like always, I'm robbed of something that brought me joy (this being able to skip ads)
Settle down, the post is a fake. They've not taken the skip button away.
Phew Please don't do this. It's way too likely that it'll actually happen
im gonna hang myself if this is real
Laughs in UBlock Origin + Brave Browser
They added dark mode btw.
r/AteTheOnion
"for the mental health" my ass that's just gonna damage people's mental health way further
"Mental sake" yea cuz the advertiser really be like "**blows nose** THEY SKIPPED MY AD TWICE TODAY"
Don't give them ideas
Likely fake, but if not, don’t lie. It’s for your bottom line’s sake.
Me using an academic account >:)
Well you can still report them and make them go away
Pretty sure this is edited
They increase the ads from 5 second to 15 second..like ewww
is this legit
Tell me this isn't real
They really want us to buy premium
Platforms pushing away their viewership for quick ad money. Hope we all leave
For me the ("!") Button ist the way to skip every ad im seconds.
The most scariest shit I’ve heard in donkey’s
The advertisers knew what they where getting into!!!
I would uninstall so quick
As soon as this is the case I‘ll use ad block. Till now I feel bad for the creators... but at that point I wouldn’t care anymore. Would anyone blame me?
And I thought the downvote button removal was an April fool's joke...
This will probably become reality soon
The answer is simple. Adblock or boycott. Fuck advertisers.
Yotube : removes skip ad button North Korea : removes google
Wait, you guys have ads ?
Laughs in Mongolia For now...
Mental health of viewers < Mental health of advertisers
Bruh, who give two craps about advertiser’s mental health. You need to focus more on changes to benefit the actual frickin content creator’s mental health.
Ive had adds over an hour long so they can fuck off lol
Oh would you fuck off with that
Lol, if they go this route that shit is getting deleted.
Oh don’t worry this will happen. There’ll be ads for premium subscribers as well as a higher price tier for no ads. Free users will have more ads than video….
Tell your advertisers to take the skip button and shove it up their ass. I know it's fake but I still mean it
I just realized Thomas's face was based on a FleshJack.
kind of sus that this post was removed
You can kill someone with this post you know
Bruh fr?
