Pay the $13 monthly ransom to avoid ads altogether.

They are really becoming a pain.

I too have had many problems with YouTube. 😬

If you really want to get around it use one of the many sites/ add-ons that will download youtube to MP4. Those come down ad free.

“Has anyone else noticed that Youtube is at it again, trying to block users who use an adblocker?”

“At it again”

Ads are their revenue. Basically you want to steal their product.

Just hit reload when the video does not come up. It usually will play after a single reload.

Yes, I have noticed this recently as well.

I just refuse to use YT whenever I get pop up asking to remove my adblocker and accept ads.

I use the Duckduckgo browser with its built-in blocker. It works pretty well.

YouBoob offers nothing you can’t live without. If the ads bother you that much, break your addiction to YouBoob.

Duck Duck Go browser has a special player for YT that bypasses the ads. You can copy and paste there anytime YT white screens you.

It’s a continual game of whack-a-mole between ad-blocker updates and yootoob algorithms for users of Firefox etc, and as mentioned upthread, Brave is an excellent browser for privacy and built-in ad blocking.

Brave browser plus Proton VPN. I have no problems, no ads. The occasional “prove you’re human” (to a bot LOL) while the VPN is running if I click an outside link to get to a Youtube video, but never an issue if I am on the Youtube site watching videos.

I use Brave with their native ad blockers. Works fine.

Try this.

I used on my machine, and it worked. You get about 1 second of each ad and they’re gone. I guess that makes YT think the ad played for you (which it did, just not the whole thing!).

I turn off the adblocker for Youtube, but I am still blocked. I do not know why.
