It's only for a select few people. A trial.

I never like promoting the idea of ad blockers, because it then leads to YouTube disabling it for all.

The one place not to use it is on ISH.

On computers or phones?

I'm fine on my computer. I need to find a good ad blocker for my phone though.

My phone blocks everything because I use "Brave" as a browser.

On my laptop I usually use Chrome with ublock origin as my ad blocker, but youtube has somehow disabled all these ad blockers. Looks like I'm gonna have to install Brave on my laptop as well

Found a chrome extension called "undetectable ad blocker". Seems to have blocked youtube ads for now. We will see.

YouTube is limiting video views for ********* users

YouTube is once again conducting an experiment that targets anyone using an ad blocker. Like before, users are warned that they should turn off their blocking software. This time, however, there's a punishment for not complying: being limited to just three video views.

....

YouTube has confirmed that the pop-ups are part of an experiment – so not everyone will see them – urging users to either allow ads when viewing videos or subscribe to YouTube Premium. The company said playback would be disabled in "extreme cases," i.e., when someone ignores repeated requests to disable their ad-blocking software.

So it seems that you're one of the lucky few.

The bad thing is that this happened to you in August, which means that they are expanding it, and that it might eventually catch up to the rest of us.

Edit: I guess ISH censors the term ad block with an - inbetween.

Noscript and ublock ? Ye this site and most sites are aids on devices such as apple (Ipad atm) but those two things work well. Have done me well.

You need extra lines in your ******* filters. Not sure if they are all the same but there should be out there for differently adblockers.

Seems like lots of people who have ad blockers are getting hit by this now.

Not only that, but the "return youtube dislike" extension is no longer working.

[ArbitraryWater]

works for me, the extension however is indeed not working (maybe need to update chrome?)

Youtube's recent update made "return youtube dislikes" extension unusable. From what I heard, the extension has a new update that combats this, but needs a chrome store approval.

These new updates suck.

I ****ing hate the ads on youtube

Sometimes I'll skip through a video and then an ad will pop up before I can resume it. One 15-second ad, and then another ad for 5 seconds. Then if I try going back on a video, the same ****ing thing happens

Makes it impossible to watch videos
