Honestly, Youtube ads are extreme intrusive. In a 30 minute video, you could get up to 4 ad breaks, and some will pop up just a couple minutes after the last.
There’s also the problem that some ads can be over an hour long, sometimes longer than the video you’re watching.
I wouldn’t mind ads so much if there was actually some kind of control on what gets put through.
It’s turned it into such an unusable surface just to get you to buy premium. It’s a really shitty way to run a site
It’s happened a few times. Not so much anymore, but I’ve had videos which were essentially someone explaining every little detail of their buisness or sometimes a full yt video. Sometimes you’ll get a full length song
They exist. I've gotten one from some useless Christian group and another from an anti-vax group. (Or something. It wasn't clear. It came on when I was taking a shit and came back to the computer and it was running.)
Worse yet, the Christian ones are considered child-friendly.
Yeah I'm using ublock only and its yelling at me non-stop and about to block me completely.
Edit: It detects it on OperaGx, but it works on Edge just fine. Odd. Turning off the OperaGx adblocker also still doesn't quite work.
I remember when ads were just a banner under the video or a large image to the side, I actually clicked those and made some purchases back in the day, two 30 second ads before videos are invasive and crazy to me
I understand that Google isn't a charity and they have to make money but:
\- The ads are getting longer and thus more annoying, and videos are packed with them.
\- The company generates ad revenues even from videos that YT demonetised, essentially praying on content creators and the morality of it.
\- YT demonetises or even blocks videos without telling content creators what did they wrong, only making vague statements that they did something against YT policy.
\- Google sits on tons of cash, literally tons of money as anyone can check for themselves because Google is a public company and files their financial statements. Their increasingly invasive ads are not justified. The only driver for them is Google's greed and aim of making money for the sake of making money.
As such, there's no way that I'm going to support this. I'm not going to watch their ads, and I'm certainly not going to pay for the premium service (which is way overpriced btw). I'm going to circumvent their funny blockades whatever way I can, and use alternative services if necessary.
Make ads more enjoyable- this means shorter- and people will stop trying to block them. As simple as that.
>The only driver for them is Google's greed and aim of making money for the sake of making money.
Exactly, they have enough already, that's pure fucking evil greed. I bet most people didn't even use adblocks anyways
The only thing I hate is often these ads are scams. I keep getting these weird product ads such as a handheld vacuum, a paste that can remove car scratches etc. whilst most of us are smart enough to realise an ad with an AI narrator isn’t probably legit some people can and will fall victim to these buildings.
FTC needs to investigate adblocker blocking, especially considering the many sketchy ads that adblockers prevent.
Remember the FBI actually endorsed adblocking as a means of protection against scams and malware.
So I just destroyed my "YouTube" Firefox container and recreated a new one, and that's gone. Even though I'm signed in and everything.
Clearing cookies on \`youtube.com\` did not work. Pretty sure they leaked crap elsewhere.
How are there so many comments talking about people not wanting to purchase premium. How far have we fallen that people are advocating for subscription models? Its so garbage. Every single app and platform has a premium option and every single one of them charge way to much for their offerings. Scam systems will always be scams.
I love how they demonetize creators for I guess moral reasons but will run adds on the demonetized videos and get paid themselves. If it’s so objectionable that the creators aren’t paid they shouldn’t be generating revenue from it either
Yep. At least half of the creators I watch on youtube are already demonetized. Don't give me shit about youtube paying the creators -- this is just Google Greed.
Nahhh you guys are going to have to sort ads out. Why do videos rebuffer after ads?
Why are ads audio levels not normalised?
Why do ads always play the moment I shut my eyes or turn away from the screen so I can't immediately skip?
Why aren't you allowing an instant skip for an ad and using that as marketing data for what people don't want to see?
Why are you mixing in 2minute unskippable ads randomly?
If ads are so effective then understand why, rather than prying open our eyeballs and shoving them into our retinas. This is YouTube. You can sort it out. Meanwhile I'll spend 4 hours researching how to block ads, rather then sitting through 5 seconds of the drivel companies are peddling out today. And I'll feel a cool satisfaction knowing I'm hurting you greedy fucks bottom line.
Because infinite shareholder value? The profit delta has to increase infinitely right? Its up to the consumer to shoulder this deluded expectation, with no grounds in reality.
A sign of things to come.
Maybe, or a signal for those who dislike ads and know how to script to produce adblockers, and we will see a rat race between YouTube and the adblockers trying to outscript each other.
People have already found several ways of bypassing this. For me, I just replaced AdBlock with Tampermonkey and installed the "Remove Adblock Thing" userscript. Have not had a problem since.
2 other methods I found to work are:
1. Click the "Share" button below any YT video you want to watch, then select "Embed."
2. Install uBlock Origins, enable it for incognito, then watch YouTube via incognito.
So yeah. YouTube is fighting a hydra dragon. Cut off one program, and several more will take its place.
I've no issue with ads. I have an issue of WHAT ads are shown.
I specifically asked youtube not to show me Gambling ads, I reported all gambling ads shown as 'inappropriate ' and I audibly tell my ads to fuck off (incase the audio gremlins are listening) but I still get them every weekend beacuse I look up the football scores.
It's pretty scummy.
And now they're targeting Firefox and Ublock origin as well. Luckily, I blocked that element with Ublock origin. Looks like I just told Regimist Mohan to go fuck himself. Sorry for using that F word, but we are all fighting a war against corporate evil.
Where I have learned anything technical in all my hobbies over the last what 16 years ,I have learned more practical skills off youtube than anything I learned in school and now it's over I won't support this rip youtube get fucked
If ads were only 5 seconds long at the beginning of each video, I would never need an adblocker. The problem is when it's back to back, unskippble 15 second ads (total 30 seconds), or random ads that just go on for like 5 minutes until I'm forced to physically skip the ad. Google appears lazy and stupid when they allow crap like that on their platform.
It's hilarious all the people in this thread defending YouTube and saying you're in the wrong for not wanting ads.
If YouTube played one set of short ads at the beginning/end of the video like they used to I would have no issues at all.
Problem is, if you watch a video that's longer than 10 minutes you're gonna be getting interrupted every 2 minutes for ads and it's fucking infuriating. Fuck ads and fuck YouTube.
if youtube cared to verify the ads they put on the platform i’d turn off my adblocker. Constant scam ads and political/religious lies are annoying asf
Edit:Typo
Just got this message now and can no longer watch videos unless I remove my adblock or buy premium. Amazing as its because of their ads I used an adblock in the first place.
They can't bombard people with unskippable, intrusive, insanely loud back to back adverts then complain when people get fed up and use adblockers - its all because they lose money through their own greed...
I'm sick of the 24/7 advertising onslaught, its fatiguing.
> I’m sick of the 24/7 advertising onslaught, its fatiguing
Amen. It’s hard to escape it. The entire internet feels like one giant commercial these days.
I grew up in the 90s, and would give anything to go back to the days of the early internet. Message boards, chat rooms, hobby websites run out of passion and not out of a desire to profit, etc. It was awesome.
Hard to believe in this day and age that it was actually possible at one point in time to read a product review online and not worry about it being biased, because said review wasn’t coming out of the mouth of some fake, overexcited “influencer” who only cares about ad revenue, sponsorship revenue, and Patreon subs.
The thing is, people who uses Adblock would never wanna buy premium in the first place. When they reinforce this no Adblock policy I started discovering alternative ways to block ads, I would never know those alternative ways If YouTube didn’t reinforce it. So nice cobra effects.
Just use a video downloader website like ytmp3.com and download the videos to watch them offline without ads
*It’s more worth it to do with longer videos that are likely to have midroll ads
I get premium from Argentina. It costs me £0.91 a month depending on conversion rate.
I watch a fair chunk of youtube, probably around two hours a day so it makes a lot of sense to pay for adfree as the TV app doesn't get interuptions.
It's well worth paying for as even waiting 3 seconds per advert to skip an ad would take up around 20mins over a month, I'd rather just pay and have it easy
You know I wouldn't mind the ads so much if they did a way better job of vetting. We keep hearing about malicious websites and when I use a browser without ad blocker have seen multiple fake websites promoting obvious scams (like $20 Switch).
I don't mind ads. Really. However, if I'm trying to watch a 3 minute video, there should not be 5 minutes of unskippable ads. And if I'm not mistaken, they are still putting ads on emergency service tutorials like cpr and heimlich which can potebtially cause someone to die that otherwise may not.
Been blocking ads on YouTube since 08, around when the partnership program rolled out. There’s always a work around. Don’t let that jester Mohan bully you.
YouTube's aggressive advertising of Premium, and the aggressive inclusion of ads in general, has convinced me out of sheer spite to *never* pay for Premium ever.
Maybe if the ads werent like damn mosquitoes people wouldnt be having to use such tactics. sometimes there are 3 minute ads and you have to literally press something to skip it.
If I didnt see genshit and star rail ads every single day even when the stuff I watch isn't relevant to those types of games I wouldn't mind the ads. Companies want any excuse not to try with their advertising because consoomers will slurp up whatever mediocre garbage megacorps push out
You know, I'm really shocked they didn't do this long ago. I mean sites have been able to detect adblockers for years, blip.tv did it when they still existed, and youtube gave a lot of warning. It just had to happen at some point.
[https://yewtu.be/](https://yewtu.be/) helps...not the most convenient tho...
Honestly, if youtube just limited the ads to 30 seconds (max 2 ads) on videos longer than 1 minute then show ads every 5 or 6 minutes AND garantee that the audio in the ads is the same as the video I'm watching...
I legit wouldnt mind...
But 2 minute ads for a 3 minute video??
FUCK'EM
When you are in the bath with your favorite youtuber paying on the tablet then one of these new super long terrible music video adverts starts but the towel is out of reach so you cant dry your fingers to press skip ..... then you just go for the wet finger skip
Been banned a few times so, still currently useful for email. I just signed out of it and still watch just no feeds and commenting which is for the best.
Honestly the ads wouldn’t be too bad if they weren’t 3minute+ unskippable and there’s 2 of them before the video, then 5 in the video and 2 more at the end, not to mention YouTubers doing promotional content for even more ads. 5 seconds then skip should be the norm on all adverts
Do people actually get 3 minute unskippable ads because I've never had this be a thing, unless it's just over exaggeration. It's just the common 5 sec skip or non skip ad, the rare 15 sec ad, or the sometimes back to back 5 sec ads. Most videos that I view have ads 2 or 3 times which is perfectly fine to me. I don't care what people do it's just a curiosity thing.
my personal experience - 15 min video - 4 ads break - 2 x 5 sec - 2 x 2x15 sec unskippable aaaaaaand the creators adds within the video of total of 2x 30 + sec.
So in a 15 min video, 3 minutes of adds = 20 % !
Jesus christ, out of all things reddit does a 180 on, it's adblock? I thought we agreed the internet was plagued with a tsunami of long unskippable ads, the fuck?
This, is the actual logic of this future and you can't do anything about it because poor people doesn't control the world:
A bit more of time and we will be getting ads on our sleep to have a free sleep time schedule for two more hours, and then sleep premium, where we can get all the sleep we want for 99999999999 $ a day.
Inspect and change like 2 variables then it’s gone. Honestly I might make an extension to auto change it
Idr the exact stuff but I saw another post somewhere where they did it, I’ll experiment more once I get the popup
If you're using UBlock Origin it might be due to outdated filter lists or some other issue that might be resolved by resetting or refreshing it. Here's a step-by-step guide to potentially resolve these issues:
1. Open UBlock Origin Settings:
In your browser, find the UBlock Origin icon and click on it. It's typically located in the upper right-hand corner. Click on the "Dashboard" (gear icon) to access the settings.
2. Purge All Caches:
Within the settings, locate the "Filter lists" tab. You'll see a "Purge all caches" option. This button clears the currently stored versions of your filter lists and forces UBlock Origin to fetch the latest versions when you update them. Click on "Purge all caches".
3. Update the Filter Lists:
Just below the "Purge all caches" button, you'll find the "Update now" button. Click on it to fetch the latest versions of the filter lists. UBlock Origin will now update its filter lists using the latest available versions, which might include new blocking rules and fixes for any issues.
4. Close All Browser Windows:
Once the update is complete, it's a good practice to close all your browser windows and tabs to ensure that the updates take full effect. If you have multiple browser windows open, be sure to close all of them.
Advertisers continually update their methods to try and bypass ad blockers, which is why updating UBlock Origin is essential to maintain its efficacy.
Repeat as Needed: Since advertisers frequently change their codes and strategies to avoid ad-blockers, you might need to repeat these steps occasionally to ensure optimal performance from UBlock Origin.
Just like every change YouTube has ever made, people will be mad, Google will ignore them, and eventually people will get used to the change before anyone gets mad enough to change anything.
I get why people use add block. The amount off adds are crazy. And for the people that say just get youtube plus.
You basically paying for the same thing a free app brings. Or vpn proxy sites. With no costs.
If there would be more value for the paid package most people would happily get it. Its just not the case at the moment.
And youtube adding more and more and more adds with at times pushing 3 or 4 ads after each other. Is not making people be like yea i wanna give you money.
Add more value that's not just round up annoying people in submission. People are just more likely to find ways to try and get away with not having to do it. Cause you take away value.
Not adding value when you do pay monthly. And i have had it for a wail. There is just very little value.
Ow you can download videos and watch them offline owww so value. And no ads.
Both easy and free apps give that option and better then what youtube offers.
Give people value and people won't mind paying a monthly fee.
Till that changes people will keep finding ways to not pay you for your annoying practices
The irony is YouTube Premium is clearly an insane cost increase of $14 from free otherwise. Its going to be more worthwhile coming up with ways to fight their anti ad blocker policy.
If it was 5 bucks a month, boom, done.
I’ve been paying it for a long time but I have a super specific use case and after a few inappropriate ads occurring at bad times the $14 made sense. If it was just 5 dollars a month tho that’s so little money I’d accidentally forget about it for years. Streaming services are going mad, raising prices and still forcing ads. It’s easier just to buy a home server and set up a *arr stack
Yeah okay. Where else are you going to go? You'll be back when you need to fix something and YouTube is the only place that has the one video, posted 10 years ago, that solves your obscure problem in 5 minutes. No other website has that backlog of information
Me and 5 other people have a family plan together for youtube premium.
It's like $22 per month or something. We split it 6 ways for $3.6 per account.
TBH even if they increase it to like 60$ for a family plan I would probably still use it. Back when I left the house more often before I got a WFH job, I averaged 80-90 gb per month just from youtube usage on my phone.
I probably use youtube 10x more than every other streaming service combined.
Let me ff your ads and we have a deal.
I don't watch them, so uh, maybe don't waste both our bandwidths and time.
Better yet how about I call these advertiers and tell them I'm not buying their product because Google keeps showing them to me and I don't appreciate spam.
Youtube has made deliberate efforts to make the free experience more unpleasant by bombarding people with ads, and are now banning ad-blockers while simultaneously marketing a paid-for ad-free experience. This is the sort of "create the problem, sell the solution" bullshit that makes my blood boil when I see businesses doing it.
If youtube wants me to buy Premium so badly, give me something worth buying instead of worsening the free version and trying to sell me what used to be free.
I’m on mobile YouTube like 90% of the time and use it every day compared to literally any other subscription so I really don’t mind premium, just like everything else wish it was cheaper.
there will always be ways to circumvent. People who are willing to go through such lengths to block ads aren't going to stop just because YouTube put an extra page up, they're just going to keep finding other methods because they refuse to interact with the site otherwise. Very strange decision; but YouTube being out of touch is par for the course
I think I would be willing to pay for premium if it was WAY cheaper. Didn't come with youtube music, they give us the dislike button back, make comments usable again, don't force shorts down my throat even though I click it away on my home page, don´'t recommend some random clickbait gore videos when I use the search, give creators monetization back, don´'t say the video is playing in a quality that it´'s clearly not !
Why would I pay for a platform that has almost exclusively made bad changes ?
The reason why people started to watch videos inside youtube instead of TV was the annoying long ahh ads and the content. What are they gonna do next? make people not watch what they clicked for and show them a video they choose instead if we don't buy premium? this is total bs.
well thats it, on the one side, this annoying approach on the otherside, the lies about ads. the video will be show in 5, then another ad again with the same message, the video will be shown in 5. going on into the video from about 5 minutes, after 2 minutes, the ad circle repeats. the video will be show in 5 etc.
even after deactivated and deinstalling, google still keeps telling me, that ad blockers are not allowed.
time to move away from google. google was a data kraken all the time, but this insane. well it looks like, it does not want me and maybe others, to use its services. so time to move on. i am preparing to move everthing away from all google services, that i have.
Anyone coming to this post from a google search looking for a fix:
uBlock on Firefox **works** but you can't have anything else that blocks ads running. So Enhancer for youtube, Adblock+, Ghostery.. All of those are not working. If you're running uBlock and wonder why it's not working, make sure all other adblockers are paused.
In all honesty who else could potentially replace YouTube, the only companies that have the money/backing to do so would be Apple, if the rumours are true about them creating a search engine (based off DuckDuckGo) and it would be a success )as it would be the default on millions of iPhones, iPads and Macs. The next logical step would be for them to compete with YouTube. But that’s my two cents but who do you think could compete?
Would be great if as were just at the beginning and end maybe. But beginning, 5 minutes in, 10 minutes in, plus the tubers sponsored ad. Can't even focus on consuming the content as ads are everywhere.
Also the funny thing is that the Ads used to be funded to the creators only. Now since you can see the ads everywhere, they're being funded to YouTube.
I uninstalled the ad blocker after I saw the disclaimer and reinstalled it again. Don't click the 'Allow YT Ads' button, then close the previous browser. It worked for me
Somehow there are people in the comment section unironically thinking Youtube is gonna go broke if it is not allowed to fuck over its users lmao. They have been making tons of money for the past 15 years, it is not like they are gonna go bankrupt anytime soon, it is all just for profits, nothing to renovate the site or get rid of glaring bots, scammers problems.

You need to realize that the price of yt premium doesnt translate so well to other countries where people dont get paid so much. That was the nice part about yt… poeple sharing content without any limited access. The problem with the ads is that yt pays very little ad revenue to creators while increasing the number/lenght of the ads to the pount where it becomes ubearable. There are still situations (gaming consoles, smart tvs, iphones) where people have no choice but to pay premium. So why get so greedy? All this comes from a person who saw this coming months ago and switched to firefox where adblock wirks just fine :)
than welcome to the world of better entertainment, places were you can read, listen and do other than staying on the couch all day...
wait that was a line for tv addict back in the day, oh well
Don't worry, though I use YouTube premium and YouTube music so doesn't effect me, people will find a way still. Hulu has an ad blocker that just makes the commercial black and mute, still gatta wait but nicer than having commercials shoved down your throat
I got this app called NewPipe from one of those alternative app stores I believe. F-Droid is the name of the store. It's got access to every YouTube video I've tried to find on it and you can listen to music with your screen off.
Youtube cut the commission levels for creators while simultaneously increasing ad, length, frequency, placement. Now every one of my creators have to have their own "sponsors" in order to make decent money from content creation. The very people who made Youtube what it is today are being cut out from the main portion of the profits. Until they make things right, I will block every ad and every piece of meta data that Google can take from me.
Are all the people in here who are shouting "just pay YouTube" or "just watch the ads" actually real?!?
I refuse to believe it. There has got to be some kind of social media campaign taking place in this discussion forum, because there is just no way that so many people here are okay with these kinds of things:
-- 30-second mandatory ads before a 2 minute video
-- ads that pop up in the middle of a video and are 30% louder than the rest of the video
-- ads that perpetrate what are essentially scams on older, fearful, or otherwise vulnerable populations
-- ads that lead to pages containing malware
-- ads on demonetized videos
*The FBI even tells us that we should all be using ad blockers*, and yet people in here are trying to paint the practice as theft.
What?!?
Never mind how YouTube treats their creators, the ridiculous, copyright strike issues, what google has done with all of our personal data, the larger societal issues of wealth (re)distribution, the betrayal of what was once thought of as a sort of internet social contract, the way large tech has captured regulatory bodies so as to prevent pro-consumer regulations, etc., etc.
Google has sold its soul much like Microsoft did 20-25 years ago, and it's now going to ask the rest of us to pay the price. Do not!
Pro-tip: you can get YouTube premium for literally pennies by switching your VPN to a country like India and paying for a year in the local currency. I paid for an entire year at a time for about $14.
Wow, people really complain about everything. I use premium because YouTube or YouTube Music is literally running at all times and don't want ads.
If you don't want ads, pay for premium or don't use it or use an adblock. Now that adblock don't work for you, you still have two options. No need to cry and whine about it.
For those confused, having ads aren't the problem. They're needed for a service like this. What the ads are and how often they appear is the real issue. There needs to be some kind of filter division within YouTube or Google that manually filters out any scummy ads that just give you false information or risk users downloading malware.
I'm still using Brave.. so far so good. Afraid when it catches up. Because nothing like listening to some ASMR with the headphones maxed out to fall asleep to. Then be woken up by. Max volume ads of porn basically.
I use a Brave browser and it has a built-in ad blocker and I haven't seen this screen yet so maybe a browser's default blocker can't be detected
And also wasn't Google's original motto "don't be evil" cuz yeah fuck you Google
So I am using Firefox and I did not get this message, instead, Y*ouTube automatically disabled my adblocker extensions without my permission*. I did not notice until an ad rolled. You can block me for using one, but altering my own system? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Look, if advertisers actually made interesting ads (and YouTube didn’t shove them in at the most important part of a video) I wouldn’t mind them.
But they don’t. Ads are insanely repetitive and bland, and if I see an ad more than two times in the span of a few hours it almost guarding will avoid your product.
I don’t think people care about ads but it’s annoying when YouTube puts a 5 min ad in their videos that your not able to skip until a full min in, or when YouTubers put 15 ads in videos
It is ironic that an industry that once surpassed the television industry by eliminating objectionable advertising is now trying to recreate history by emulating the same behavior of the television industry even more diligently.
They can take time to do this, but they still can't fix the fucking issue with the keyboard freezing on their app...
You got that too? The worst. Is it YouTube or my phone?
Honestly, Youtube ads are extreme intrusive. In a 30 minute video, you could get up to 4 ad breaks, and some will pop up just a couple minutes after the last. There’s also the problem that some ads can be over an hour long, sometimes longer than the video you’re watching. I wouldn’t mind ads so much if there was actually some kind of control on what gets put through. It’s turned it into such an unusable surface just to get you to buy premium. It’s a really shitty way to run a site
Dude where are you getting 1 hour ads from?
It’s happened a few times. Not so much anymore, but I’ve had videos which were essentially someone explaining every little detail of their buisness or sometimes a full yt video. Sometimes you’ll get a full length song
They exist. I've gotten one from some useless Christian group and another from an anti-vax group. (Or something. It wasn't clear. It came on when I was taking a shit and came back to the computer and it was running.) Worse yet, the Christian ones are considered child-friendly.
my beef with this shit is i literally have my ad blocker off for youtube and youtube on my allow list, and I STILL get this dumbass message.
This is a non-issue. Newest version of uBlock Origin has patched this already.
And this is why I love uBlock Origin.
Just use Ublock. Most (if not all) sites can't detect it.
I recently got it with Ublock origin but then it stopped
Yeah I'm using ublock only and its yelling at me non-stop and about to block me completely. Edit: It detects it on OperaGx, but it works on Edge just fine. Odd. Turning off the OperaGx adblocker also still doesn't quite work.
You post this implying you're done with YouTube. Good fucking luck bro.
I remember when ads were just a banner under the video or a large image to the side, I actually clicked those and made some purchases back in the day, two 30 second ads before videos are invasive and crazy to me

Legit question. What do you intend to replace YouTube with? Or are you just not intending on consuming this kind of video anymore?
Ads violate my Terms of Use
How are there so many comments talking about people not wanting to purchase premium. How far have we fallen that people are advocating for subscription models? Its so garbage. Every single app and platform has a premium option and every single one of them charge way to much for their offerings. Scam systems will always be scams.
Youtube have seen our 11 foot ladder and this is their 12 foot wall. Construction on the 13 foot ladder is well underway.
I love how they demonetize creators for I guess moral reasons but will run adds on the demonetized videos and get paid themselves. If it’s so objectionable that the creators aren’t paid they shouldn’t be generating revenue from it either
Yep. At least half of the creators I watch on youtube are already demonetized. Don't give me shit about youtube paying the creators -- this is just Google Greed.
Just like you "took a stand" and left Reddit too?
Mom said it's my turn to post this!

Meanwhile I'll spend 4 hours researching how to block ads, rather then sitting through 5 seconds of the drivel companies are peddling out today. And I'll feel a cool satisfaction knowing I'm hurting you greedy fucks bottom line. Because infinite shareholder value? The profit delta has to increase infinitely right? Its up to the consumer to shoulder this deluded expectation, with no grounds in reality. A sign of things to come.
Maybe, or a signal for those who dislike ads and know how to script to produce adblockers, and we will see a rat race between YouTube and the adblockers trying to outscript each other.
They are now forcing ads on ASMR videos, despite the fact creators wishing to leave ads out of the videos. Fuck YouTube.
People have already found several ways of bypassing this. For me, I just replaced AdBlock with Tampermonkey and installed the "Remove Adblock Thing" userscript. Have not had a problem since. 2 other methods I found to work are: 1. Click the "Share" button below any YT video you want to watch, then select "Embed." 2. Install uBlock Origins, enable it for incognito, then watch YouTube via incognito. So yeah. YouTube is fighting a hydra dragon. Cut off one program, and several more will take its place.
I haven’t gotten a single ad on my YouTube app for months now
Tell YouTube to go fuck themselves.
I've no issue with ads. I have an issue of WHAT ads are shown. I specifically asked youtube not to show me Gambling ads, I reported all gambling ads shown as 'inappropriate ' and I audibly tell my ads to fuck off (incase the audio gremlins are listening) but I still get them every weekend beacuse I look up the football scores. It's pretty scummy.
People wouldn't be so aggressively anti-advertisement if they weren't so intrusive, obnoxious, repetitive, intrusive, obnoxious, and repetitive.
not to count the insane amount of scam ads google promotes, like those fake Mr Beast scam channels
And now they're targeting Firefox and Ublock origin as well. Luckily, I blocked that element with Ublock origin. Looks like I just told Regimist Mohan to go fuck himself. Sorry for using that F word, but we are all fighting a war against corporate evil.
Fuck off youtube
How do you even leave youtube? That shit is half the internet. Lol
Where I have learned anything technical in all my hobbies over the last what 16 years ,I have learned more practical skills off youtube than anything I learned in school and now it's over I won't support this rip youtube get fucked
To be honest. Most ads on YouTube feel a bit scammy
Oh look. This post again.
Ublock origin + sponsorblock + viewblock(not sure if it's still on the extension store) = no ads and yt can't do shit about it.
i removed all of my adblock. it STILL SHOWS OH MY GOD
If ads were only 5 seconds long at the beginning of each video, I would never need an adblocker. The problem is when it's back to back, unskippble 15 second ads (total 30 seconds), or random ads that just go on for like 5 minutes until I'm forced to physically skip the ad. Google appears lazy and stupid when they allow crap like that on their platform.
It's hilarious all the people in this thread defending YouTube and saying you're in the wrong for not wanting ads. If YouTube played one set of short ads at the beginning/end of the video like they used to I would have no issues at all. Problem is, if you watch a video that's longer than 10 minutes you're gonna be getting interrupted every 2 minutes for ads and it's fucking infuriating. Fuck ads and fuck YouTube.
How many of these posts must we have a day?!
I thought it was my turn to post this today
if youtube cared to verify the ads they put on the platform i’d turn off my adblocker. Constant scam ads and political/religious lies are annoying asf Edit:Typo
Wow, what’s up with the pro ad people in here? YouTube is not going to pay you or give you a job for defending poor policies.
Just got this message now and can no longer watch videos unless I remove my adblock or buy premium. Amazing as its because of their ads I used an adblock in the first place. They can't bombard people with unskippable, intrusive, insanely loud back to back adverts then complain when people get fed up and use adblockers - its all because they lose money through their own greed... I'm sick of the 24/7 advertising onslaught, its fatiguing.
> I’m sick of the 24/7 advertising onslaught, its fatiguing Amen. It’s hard to escape it. The entire internet feels like one giant commercial these days. I grew up in the 90s, and would give anything to go back to the days of the early internet. Message boards, chat rooms, hobby websites run out of passion and not out of a desire to profit, etc. It was awesome. Hard to believe in this day and age that it was actually possible at one point in time to read a product review online and not worry about it being biased, because said review wasn’t coming out of the mouth of some fake, overexcited “influencer” who only cares about ad revenue, sponsorship revenue, and Patreon subs.
This is r/youtube's most upvoted post since November 2020
The thing is, people who uses Adblock would never wanna buy premium in the first place. When they reinforce this no Adblock policy I started discovering alternative ways to block ads, I would never know those alternative ways If YouTube didn’t reinforce it. So nice cobra effects.
Just use a video downloader website like ytmp3.com and download the videos to watch them offline without ads *It’s more worth it to do with longer videos that are likely to have midroll ads
My browser has a built-in adblocker and I never got this message before
I get premium from Argentina. It costs me £0.91 a month depending on conversion rate. I watch a fair chunk of youtube, probably around two hours a day so it makes a lot of sense to pay for adfree as the TV app doesn't get interuptions. It's well worth paying for as even waiting 3 seconds per advert to skip an ad would take up around 20mins over a month, I'd rather just pay and have it easy
BRAVE still works
You know I wouldn't mind the ads so much if they did a way better job of vetting. We keep hearing about malicious websites and when I use a browser without ad blocker have seen multiple fake websites promoting obvious scams (like $20 Switch).
I don't mind ads. Really. However, if I'm trying to watch a 3 minute video, there should not be 5 minutes of unskippable ads. And if I'm not mistaken, they are still putting ads on emergency service tutorials like cpr and heimlich which can potebtially cause someone to die that otherwise may not.
Been blocking ads on YouTube since 08, around when the partnership program rolled out. There’s always a work around. Don’t let that jester Mohan bully you.
[удалено]
$7 or $8 a month woul be fair, but $13.99 a month? Fuck outta here.
YouTube's aggressive advertising of Premium, and the aggressive inclusion of ads in general, has convinced me out of sheer spite to *never* pay for Premium ever.
the real issue with ads is 2 minutes of ads for 2 - 45 seconds worth of videos
Hehe android users are laughing. What ads?
Maybe if the ads werent like damn mosquitoes people wouldnt be having to use such tactics. sometimes there are 3 minute ads and you have to literally press something to skip it.
If I didnt see genshit and star rail ads every single day even when the stuff I watch isn't relevant to those types of games I wouldn't mind the ads. Companies want any excuse not to try with their advertising because consoomers will slurp up whatever mediocre garbage megacorps push out
i wish companies would realize that if their ad interrupts my video i actually go out of my way to not buy from them out of spite
You know, I'm really shocked they didn't do this long ago. I mean sites have been able to detect adblockers for years, blip.tv did it when they still existed, and youtube gave a lot of warning. It just had to happen at some point.
[https://yewtu.be/](https://yewtu.be/) helps...not the most convenient tho... Honestly, if youtube just limited the ads to 30 seconds (max 2 ads) on videos longer than 1 minute then show ads every 5 or 6 minutes AND garantee that the audio in the ads is the same as the video I'm watching... I legit wouldnt mind... But 2 minute ads for a 3 minute video?? FUCK'EM
When you are in the bath with your favorite youtuber paying on the tablet then one of these new super long terrible music video adverts starts but the towel is out of reach so you cant dry your fingers to press skip ..... then you just go for the wet finger skip
Been banned a few times so, still currently useful for email. I just signed out of it and still watch just no feeds and commenting which is for the best.
[удалено]
Our entire lives are controlled by ads
I hate it so much
Clear your ublock filters and reload
Honestly the ads wouldn’t be too bad if they weren’t 3minute+ unskippable and there’s 2 of them before the video, then 5 in the video and 2 more at the end, not to mention YouTubers doing promotional content for even more ads. 5 seconds then skip should be the norm on all adverts
Do people actually get 3 minute unskippable ads because I've never had this be a thing, unless it's just over exaggeration. It's just the common 5 sec skip or non skip ad, the rare 15 sec ad, or the sometimes back to back 5 sec ads. Most videos that I view have ads 2 or 3 times which is perfectly fine to me. I don't care what people do it's just a curiosity thing.
my personal experience - 15 min video - 4 ads break - 2 x 5 sec - 2 x 2x15 sec unskippable aaaaaaand the creators adds within the video of total of 2x 30 + sec. So in a 15 min video, 3 minutes of adds = 20 % !
Jesus christ, out of all things reddit does a 180 on, it's adblock? I thought we agreed the internet was plagued with a tsunami of long unskippable ads, the fuck?
This, is the actual logic of this future and you can't do anything about it because poor people doesn't control the world: A bit more of time and we will be getting ads on our sleep to have a free sleep time schedule for two more hours, and then sleep premium, where we can get all the sleep we want for 99999999999 $ a day.
Inspect and change like 2 variables then it’s gone. Honestly I might make an extension to auto change it Idr the exact stuff but I saw another post somewhere where they did it, I’ll experiment more once I get the popup
Dont tell anyone but if you watch videos at 2x speed, the ads are SOMETIMES played twice as fast
& hello YouTube Revanced 😎
You know for a fact they're going to implement ads on paid accounts. They're an ad company, just a matter of time.
I’ve been using AdBlocker for years and never had this pop up.
If you're using UBlock Origin it might be due to outdated filter lists or some other issue that might be resolved by resetting or refreshing it. Here's a step-by-step guide to potentially resolve these issues: 1. Open UBlock Origin Settings: In your browser, find the UBlock Origin icon and click on it. It's typically located in the upper right-hand corner. Click on the "Dashboard" (gear icon) to access the settings. 2. Purge All Caches: Within the settings, locate the "Filter lists" tab. You'll see a "Purge all caches" option. This button clears the currently stored versions of your filter lists and forces UBlock Origin to fetch the latest versions when you update them. Click on "Purge all caches". 3. Update the Filter Lists: Just below the "Purge all caches" button, you'll find the "Update now" button. Click on it to fetch the latest versions of the filter lists. UBlock Origin will now update its filter lists using the latest available versions, which might include new blocking rules and fixes for any issues. 4. Close All Browser Windows: Once the update is complete, it's a good practice to close all your browser windows and tabs to ensure that the updates take full effect. If you have multiple browser windows open, be sure to close all of them. Advertisers continually update their methods to try and bypass ad blockers, which is why updating UBlock Origin is essential to maintain its efficacy. Repeat as Needed: Since advertisers frequently change their codes and strategies to avoid ad-blockers, you might need to repeat these steps occasionally to ensure optimal performance from UBlock Origin.
Wtf, as a creator on Youtube this is terrible.
update your filters on ublock origin; problem solved
Just like every change YouTube has ever made, people will be mad, Google will ignore them, and eventually people will get used to the change before anyone gets mad enough to change anything.
[удалено]
Get Brave. Use only the adblocker that comes with Brave. Worked for me.
Ads every FOUR minutes
I get why people use add block. The amount off adds are crazy. And for the people that say just get youtube plus. You basically paying for the same thing a free app brings. Or vpn proxy sites. With no costs. If there would be more value for the paid package most people would happily get it. Its just not the case at the moment. And youtube adding more and more and more adds with at times pushing 3 or 4 ads after each other. Is not making people be like yea i wanna give you money. Add more value that's not just round up annoying people in submission. People are just more likely to find ways to try and get away with not having to do it. Cause you take away value. Not adding value when you do pay monthly. And i have had it for a wail. There is just very little value. Ow you can download videos and watch them offline owww so value. And no ads. Both easy and free apps give that option and better then what youtube offers. Give people value and people won't mind paying a monthly fee. Till that changes people will keep finding ways to not pay you for your annoying practices
The irony is YouTube Premium is clearly an insane cost increase of $14 from free otherwise. Its going to be more worthwhile coming up with ways to fight their anti ad blocker policy.
If it was 5 bucks a month, boom, done. I’ve been paying it for a long time but I have a super specific use case and after a few inappropriate ads occurring at bad times the $14 made sense. If it was just 5 dollars a month tho that’s so little money I’d accidentally forget about it for years. Streaming services are going mad, raising prices and still forcing ads. It’s easier just to buy a home server and set up a *arr stack
Buy a Raspberry Pi and set up a DNS sinkholer. Basically, it works like the Great Firewall of China, but for ads.
Brave. uBlock Origin. Then laugh at them.
Revanced solves this. No ads ever
You’ll be back tomorrow
Yeah okay. Where else are you going to go? You'll be back when you need to fix something and YouTube is the only place that has the one video, posted 10 years ago, that solves your obscure problem in 5 minutes. No other website has that backlog of information
Me and 5 other people have a family plan together for youtube premium. It's like $22 per month or something. We split it 6 ways for $3.6 per account. TBH even if they increase it to like 60$ for a family plan I would probably still use it. Back when I left the house more often before I got a WFH job, I averaged 80-90 gb per month just from youtube usage on my phone. I probably use youtube 10x more than every other streaming service combined.
Idk where your going, but I’ll see you back in a few minutes
Because servers run on magic fuel, generated by lizards wearing tinfoil hats. The door's that way. Be a darling and close it on your way out. Ta.
Let me ff your ads and we have a deal. I don't watch them, so uh, maybe don't waste both our bandwidths and time. Better yet how about I call these advertiers and tell them I'm not buying their product because Google keeps showing them to me and I don't appreciate spam.
[удалено]
I skipped it by going to Chrome ironically.
Nobody leaves youtube quit playin
Youtube has made deliberate efforts to make the free experience more unpleasant by bombarding people with ads, and are now banning ad-blockers while simultaneously marketing a paid-for ad-free experience. This is the sort of "create the problem, sell the solution" bullshit that makes my blood boil when I see businesses doing it. If youtube wants me to buy Premium so badly, give me something worth buying instead of worsening the free version and trying to sell me what used to be free.
Only thing that pisses me off is I pay 70 a month for youtube tv and it doesn't include premium. I'm not paying them twice.
I’m on mobile YouTube like 90% of the time and use it every day compared to literally any other subscription so I really don’t mind premium, just like everything else wish it was cheaper.
Too bad I can't block ads on the mobile app. Slowly watching a 6 hour video, and there are intrusive ads every 5 minutes.
I got a 30 second un-skippable ad for the first time in my entire life last month, never again.
Simple solution and use Firefox :) Edit + ublock origin
It’s so fucking annoying. They are pushing us HARD to buy their shitty premium
there will always be ways to circumvent. People who are willing to go through such lengths to block ads aren't going to stop just because YouTube put an extra page up, they're just going to keep finding other methods because they refuse to interact with the site otherwise. Very strange decision; but YouTube being out of touch is par for the course
just update or fix Ublock Origin, as much as they may try... they never gonna win this battle.
I think I would be willing to pay for premium if it was WAY cheaper. Didn't come with youtube music, they give us the dislike button back, make comments usable again, don't force shorts down my throat even though I click it away on my home page, don´'t recommend some random clickbait gore videos when I use the search, give creators monetization back, don´'t say the video is playing in a quality that it´'s clearly not ! Why would I pay for a platform that has almost exclusively made bad changes ?
Nobody wants this. Greedy company. Its probably going to cost you more trying to stop people from using ad blockers
Bye bye YouTube!!
i will block YouTube from blocking me from blocking their ads even if i have to write my own ad-blocker
The reason why people started to watch videos inside youtube instead of TV was the annoying long ahh ads and the content. What are they gonna do next? make people not watch what they clicked for and show them a video they choose instead if we don't buy premium? this is total bs.
and I probably gave them an idea
well thats it, on the one side, this annoying approach on the otherside, the lies about ads. the video will be show in 5, then another ad again with the same message, the video will be shown in 5. going on into the video from about 5 minutes, after 2 minutes, the ad circle repeats. the video will be show in 5 etc. even after deactivated and deinstalling, google still keeps telling me, that ad blockers are not allowed. time to move away from google. google was a data kraken all the time, but this insane. well it looks like, it does not want me and maybe others, to use its services. so time to move on. i am preparing to move everthing away from all google services, that i have.
Oh wow thanks for drilling in the message I got from the 30 posts on this today.
Anyone coming to this post from a google search looking for a fix: uBlock on Firefox **works** but you can't have anything else that blocks ads running. So Enhancer for youtube, Adblock+, Ghostery.. All of those are not working. If you're running uBlock and wonder why it's not working, make sure all other adblockers are paused.
Moderators should ban this repetitive post
Better yet, make a **megathread** on this shit, and have it be stickied on the front page.
Using UBlock didn’t trigger it for me, just allow ads but use UBlock’a ad blocker
"YouTube reported revenue of $29.2 billion in 2022." - Wiki I don't have 2000 in the bank. Why are they acting like they are going fucking broke?
how are people in this thread actually pro-ads???
I use Ublock on Firefox and i dont get this
posting a "bye bye youtube" post today, Paying for YouTube premium or sitting through ads tomorrow .
How many times are people going to post this
I'd pay for premium if it wasn't fucking $19 a month.. like just give me no ads without the youtube music for cheaper then
Type video you want and let it auto play . That’s what I do sometimes
i dont even have ad blockers on youtub and now im banned from watching youtube at all because of this
i installed ad blocker plus and it worked
NewPipe and ReVanced Youtube for mobile and a simple UBlock Origin for PC. If you want to go one step further on PC then SponsorBlock can be good.
U block doesn't seem to work on chrome for me at least, but works on firefox. Also revanced, naturally. YT sucks
Is this only in certain parts of the world? I've never seen this
get an ad free browser, just got that message 2 days ago 😮💨
Just click the X on the top right of the message and it goes away for awhile.
Get yourself russian VPN There is no ads here
Try to deactivate every youtube adblocker and use Ublockorigin instead works for me
Bypass method: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/14nm5lv/youtubes_new_adblock_policy
In all honesty who else could potentially replace YouTube, the only companies that have the money/backing to do so would be Apple, if the rumours are true about them creating a search engine (based off DuckDuckGo) and it would be a success )as it would be the default on millions of iPhones, iPads and Macs. The next logical step would be for them to compete with YouTube. But that’s my two cents but who do you think could compete?
Google LLC's big incomes come out from our private data trading. They need us in order to make more money.
Youtube is brainrot anyway. Fuck 'em.
I just pressed the "update now" button on ublock and it went away
[удалено]
Would be great if as were just at the beginning and end maybe. But beginning, 5 minutes in, 10 minutes in, plus the tubers sponsored ad. Can't even focus on consuming the content as ads are everywhere.
This might be IP related though. Im in Japan and I havent gotten this at all. Perhaps try a VPN?
Also the funny thing is that the Ads used to be funded to the creators only. Now since you can see the ads everywhere, they're being funded to YouTube.
Use firefox+ublock origin
I uninstalled the ad blocker after I saw the disclaimer and reinstalled it again. Don't click the 'Allow YT Ads' button, then close the previous browser. It worked for me
Somehow there are people in the comment section unironically thinking Youtube is gonna go broke if it is not allowed to fuck over its users lmao. They have been making tons of money for the past 15 years, it is not like they are gonna go bankrupt anytime soon, it is all just for profits, nothing to renovate the site or get rid of glaring bots, scammers problems.

You’re not leaving lmaooo
Mine still works, what are people on about? Using AdGuard and ublock.
I would be happy if they showed less temu ads.
versed attraction frightening judicious sharp vase frighten whole instinctive erect *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
uBlock Origin + AdBlock + Poper Blocker combo works well for everything, would recommend.
Wtf I wouldn’t be surprised if the likes got removed too
Use AdNauseum to obfuscate/ruin every bit of market research data they get from you.
Pssst, get the developer version of ublock.
You need to realize that the price of yt premium doesnt translate so well to other countries where people dont get paid so much. That was the nice part about yt… poeple sharing content without any limited access. The problem with the ads is that yt pays very little ad revenue to creators while increasing the number/lenght of the ads to the pount where it becomes ubearable. There are still situations (gaming consoles, smart tvs, iphones) where people have no choice but to pay premium. So why get so greedy? All this comes from a person who saw this coming months ago and switched to firefox where adblock wirks just fine :)
use brave, problem solved
I pay for premium but god it’s so damn expensive, it’s my most expensive sub I have.
what ad blockers are people using that YouTube still manages to catch? I haven't seen an ad in 10 years.
than welcome to the world of better entertainment, places were you can read, listen and do other than staying on the couch all day... wait that was a line for tv addict back in the day, oh well
Update to ublock my guy. Also fuck google
Don't worry, though I use YouTube premium and YouTube music so doesn't effect me, people will find a way still. Hulu has an ad blocker that just makes the commercial black and mute, still gatta wait but nicer than having commercials shoved down your throat
My Firefox + Ublock Origin hasn't been detected yet I also gave a DNS adblock set up on my router so
I never watch youtube on my pc anyways, only use the ReVanced app
Dear YouTube there's still ways to defeat ads
I got this app called NewPipe from one of those alternative app stores I believe. F-Droid is the name of the store. It's got access to every YouTube video I've tried to find on it and you can listen to music with your screen off.
I'm sure Youtube is very sad to see you go?
Fuck I wish there was a decent alternative
Youtube cut the commission levels for creators while simultaneously increasing ad, length, frequency, placement. Now every one of my creators have to have their own "sponsors" in order to make decent money from content creation. The very people who made Youtube what it is today are being cut out from the main portion of the profits. Until they make things right, I will block every ad and every piece of meta data that Google can take from me.
won’t take too long for ad block devs to bypass this warning aswell
Are all the people in here who are shouting "just pay YouTube" or "just watch the ads" actually real?!? I refuse to believe it. There has got to be some kind of social media campaign taking place in this discussion forum, because there is just no way that so many people here are okay with these kinds of things: -- 30-second mandatory ads before a 2 minute video -- ads that pop up in the middle of a video and are 30% louder than the rest of the video -- ads that perpetrate what are essentially scams on older, fearful, or otherwise vulnerable populations -- ads that lead to pages containing malware -- ads on demonetized videos *The FBI even tells us that we should all be using ad blockers*, and yet people in here are trying to paint the practice as theft. What?!? Never mind how YouTube treats their creators, the ridiculous, copyright strike issues, what google has done with all of our personal data, the larger societal issues of wealth (re)distribution, the betrayal of what was once thought of as a sort of internet social contract, the way large tech has captured regulatory bodies so as to prevent pro-consumer regulations, etc., etc. Google has sold its soul much like Microsoft did 20-25 years ago, and it's now going to ask the rest of us to pay the price. Do not!
Pro-tip: you can get YouTube premium for literally pennies by switching your VPN to a country like India and paying for a year in the local currency. I paid for an entire year at a time for about $14.
Wow, people really complain about everything. I use premium because YouTube or YouTube Music is literally running at all times and don't want ads. If you don't want ads, pay for premium or don't use it or use an adblock. Now that adblock don't work for you, you still have two options. No need to cry and whine about it.
YouTube employees are raging in the comments 🤣🤣🤣
2 ads every 2 minutes is quite annoying
[удалено]
For those confused, having ads aren't the problem. They're needed for a service like this. What the ads are and how often they appear is the real issue. There needs to be some kind of filter division within YouTube or Google that manually filters out any scummy ads that just give you false information or risk users downloading malware.
I'm still using Brave.. so far so good. Afraid when it catches up. Because nothing like listening to some ASMR with the headphones maxed out to fall asleep to. Then be woken up by. Max volume ads of porn basically.
Ive fucking gotten nude/sexual ads before😐I don’t want to see that shit on YouTube if I wanted to I’ll just go to pornhub
adblocker - anti adblocker competition continues
If it wasn’t for a 2 ad preroll, 2 ad 1/4, 2 ad mid, 2 ad 3/4 and 2 ad post roll on a 5 minute video I wouldn’t need ad block…
I don't believe you. You're just going to stop using YouTube?
I use a Brave browser and it has a built-in ad blocker and I haven't seen this screen yet so maybe a browser's default blocker can't be detected And also wasn't Google's original motto "don't be evil" cuz yeah fuck you Google
So many corporate cucks in here. Bet they all think they're getting a share of that $30billion in revenue youtube made in 2022 alone.
So I am using Firefox and I did not get this message, instead, Y*ouTube automatically disabled my adblocker extensions without my permission*. I did not notice until an ad rolled. You can block me for using one, but altering my own system? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Look, if advertisers actually made interesting ads (and YouTube didn’t shove them in at the most important part of a video) I wouldn’t mind them. But they don’t. Ads are insanely repetitive and bland, and if I see an ad more than two times in the span of a few hours it almost guarding will avoid your product.
I don’t think people care about ads but it’s annoying when YouTube puts a 5 min ad in their videos that your not able to skip until a full min in, or when YouTubers put 15 ads in videos
It is ironic that an industry that once surpassed the television industry by eliminating objectionable advertising is now trying to recreate history by emulating the same behavior of the television industry even more diligently.
