A Redditor has discovered a popup on YouTube, warning them of a three-strikes policy for blocking ads. YouTube has since confirmed the test.

    Watching ads on YouTube is really not an option for me. And I’m not sure I would pay for premium unless the recommendation algorithm gets much much better…

      Why even consider paying Google anything?

      Just get a better adblocker.

          Does Invidious have a good mobile app?

        I mean in an “ideal” world where the AdBlock prevention really can’t be circumvented somehow.

        This is the truth. There will always be a better adblocker
