Alphabet already makes Billions with user data, that they then sell to any company willing to pay.
When we subscribe to a service like Gmail, Google search or youtube, we already pay with our data and privacy.
So this is google trying to force us to pay twice for the same service.
Ads are part of the deal. Either pay up or let them run. You clearly have never run a business....
Nope. What ad blocker are you using?
I'm using UBlock Origin, and it still works perfectly.
UBlock Origin 🙂 I stopped using Adblockplus & Ghostery when they sold out to select advertisers. First time i've ever saw that in 5+ years of using UBlock. I triggered or they detected it somehow when i opened a video in a new browser from the /videos section
EDIT or they didn't and they guessed or are just throwing out a random are you? to everyone
Id rather not fill Youtubes pockets by watching the same Life Insurance adverts every 10 minutes if its all the same to you bud. I allow adverts on some sites, like Guru3D for instance but YouTube and Google can do one.
Me too 🙂 I whitelist a lot small independent websites including Guru3D. I always have 😎

Same. Although I never saw ads on Guru. I just see empty blocks where ads should be.

Are you using Firefox? Firefox blocks AD's on Guru3d by default 🙁 with it's enhanced tracking protection. Unless firefox users disable this on the Firefox tab while browsing Guru3d they will just see white boxes instead of the adverts.I'm not sure if Hilbert is aware of it but it's been like this for a few years. Luckily Firefox just has a small browser share now.
If you don't like their business model, then stop watching YouTube. Don't freeload by trying to block the ads.
LOL, there is always that one guy defending big corporations and their evil deeds.
If there is someone that is freeloading is Alphabet. Might I remind you that they already make Billions with OUR data.
We already pay a hefty price anytime we use their services.
And they are freeloading so much so, that they don't even create their own content.
So no. I will not pay twice or thrice, for the same service.

Man, I knew it... I'm being trolled. No one seriously has that poor a grip on business.

Just because you have a simp attitude regarding big corporations, doesn't mean everyone else has to be like you.
Paying twice for something is not business, it's exploitation.

I dont watch pirate streams of sport or films, i dont block adds on sites like G3D, im happy to pay for Amazon Prime even if its via a VPN, but as mentioned im not sitting watching the ads either if they are genuine or as most are on Social Media ie very misleading.
Exactly! Malicious Adware is the reason half the planet are using blockers! 🙂

They started it all in the first place! Except in 2023 google is still the spyware! but it's wanting to charge a subscription on top of selling your information! 🙄
Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube
It looks like you may be using an ad blocker.
Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.
You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium and creators can still get paid from your subscription
Yuck
Forced Ads or pay up......
use Turkey as country and make a new google email address for it. Then sign up with a credit card. I've been paying about 32 pence a month for youtube premium for many years now.
Getting more aggressive 🙄 Refresh usually clears it....
Not this time 🙂 Try Again
WTF 😀
