YouTube AdBlock war

This war they have started on adblockers has now extended to blocking people with an ANTIVIRUS. I turned my adblocker off so I could keep watching my videos, and nothing but my anti-virus plugin is suddenly stopping me from seeing videos? Yeah no. YouTube is dead to me.

YouTube has overstayed its welcome.
It is a Frankenstein of a website and its dragging the rest of the web with it.

The moment it told me I had to turn off my anti-virus plugin, it lost any and all of my want to use it. Like instantaneously

Looks like Ublock just got hammered.

Are there any other sites like youtube that allow AD blocks?

ublock works you just gotta give it a few hours if youtube figures out a counter for it.

surely started working again!

Very much a statement to be made if so many are using adblocks. Obviously many do not wish to see adds, yet…

Maybe if the add ran somewhere else on the screen and was very tiny/could be muted?

Thankful for paper books. (Rhetorical overdramatic) - What would I do if adds ran in the middle of reading?

Laughs in private windows of Firefox with my 50 billion adblockers.

Oof, their already not doing anything with the malicious ads that auto play without your consent and infect your machine, but this now just crossing the line into staright up endorsing the user being in danger pretty much.

Here’s hoping google get sued so they can knock the crap off and… idk, make their service worth a sub instead of making adblockers worth a sub.

Youtube is dying. And it won’t be missed.
