Nothing lasts forever. YouTube will eventually give way for something else.

I literally haven't been impacted by this at all. Are they just going after one particular ad blocker?

It seems like they're either rolling this out slowly, or this is just a small-scale test only affecting a small percentage of the user base.

Could be AB testing I suppose.

I’ll stop using ad block when YouTube stops making me watch an advert at the beginning of the video and then two unskippable ads one minute into the video.

I gotta admit I pay for premium. Like, I pay for all these different services like Netflix, hbo, prime, Spotify etc, but the one I use the most (by a lot!) is YouTube. I bought it most of all to not have ads on my iPhone. Now the creators gets payed, I never see ads anywhere, all is good.

I wouldn't mind paying for it either, but it's not available in my country. So, until it is, uBlock all the way.

For anyone considering it, I highly recommend YouTube Premium. Comes with YouTube Music as well, which is a perfectly fine replacement for Spotify.
