    I’m pretty sure that the majority of people using ad blockers on Youtube will never, ever buy something based on a forced Youtube ad.

    This is promising news for advertisers in terms of extending your ad’s reach.

    So far I’m still using Vanced (works sometimes) and New Pipe (works all the time) and both do not display any ads at all.

    I pay for a certain amount of bandwidth. Yes, the speed drops depending on what and how things are connected, but you are guaranteed by law to get the speed you subscribed to at the point of connection to the internet. Ads steal your bandwidth.

    I’ve gotten one popup about it. Hit the X to close it and it hasn’t come back. Windows 10, Firefox, ublock origin.

    Crazy thing is a make a white list for creators I enjoy and sub to but if I’m just looking to kill some time at lunch or looking for something time sensitive I don’t want to be bothered by an ad for a video I’ll be on for 5 second only for it not to be what I need then move on to the next video to watch another ad

    YouTube is severely forgetting it’s place on the internet.

    I have ad blockers for YouTube even on my Nvidia Shield, phone, and tablets. If they try to block me I’ll just start using a VPN and not log in.
