It comes after a YouTube ad blocking crackdown that started last year when users started receiving a pop up encouraging them to disable ad blockers or pay for Premium. YouTube also started disabling videos when users had enabled an ad blocking extension.Now, YouTube has issued a new warning to anyone using a third party app on the video streaming platform. “We’re strengthening our enforcement on third party apps that violate YouTube’s Terms of Service, specifically ad blocking apps,” Google said in an announcement on its support page.In this photo illustration, a silhouetted woman holds a...Google’s YouTube is ramping up its crackdown on privacy-preserving ad blockers to include third ... [+]SOPA IMAGES/LIGHTROCKET VIA GETTY IMAGESYouTube explained how the platform only allows third party apps to use its API when they follow its API Services Terms of Service, and “when we find an app that violates these terms, we will take appropriate action to protect our platform, creators, and viewers.”What Happens If I Use a Third Party App to Block Ads on YouTube?During the last crackdown on ad blocking extensions, YouTube users noticed buffering on the platform, often making it unusable. Under the YouTube’s latest crackdown, viewers using third-party apps may experience buffering issues or see the error, “The following content is not available on this app” when trying to watch a video, Google said.It looks like YouTube’s plan is working, with users on X formerly Twitter saying they were unable to use their ad blocking apps.
>>1288282Don't care, still gonna use adblock and it's going to work anyway
>>1288321vanced is dead and my revanced is fucked and I need to update it
>works fine on my machine
>>1288282>During the last crackdown on ad blocking extensions, YouTube users noticed buffering on the platform, often making it unusable.This is true, so i download the video that i want to watch
>>1288462I watch youtube on by pc, not a phone, so the add blockers as addons with Firefox work well
Protip: Instantly skipping an ad via an extension is undetectable as adblock since as far as Youtube is concerned, the ad actually played.
>>1288462>>1288463>>1288469yeah adblocker has worked on my pc, biggest issue I had is for a while I'd have to keep opening new incognito tabs to watch vids which was annoying. the phone thing is if I want listen to Gura while driving, but Gura doesn't stream so vanced being fucked hasn't mattered yet
>>1288323just use regular browser and refresh until you get no ads
>>1288470Never thought I'd see a chumbud on /news/
Watching youtube with ads is a horrific experience. It sucks compared to vanced but I've been watching youtube on the brave browser since they blocked revanced. At least it blocks ads.The upside is that I use youtube a lot less on my phone. That's good for my mental health!
>>1289156Revanced still works for me. It's just that now you have to have microG installed for it to work.
I just stopped watching youtube lol easy
