YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers(www.howtogeek.com)

posted 4 months ago

YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.

Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.
