I read YouTube put up with ad blockers until recently. Now, they are trying to force people to subscribe by torturing them with ads, some of which can be longer than the videos.
They are so aggressive with ads. If they change their approach, I will return. I don't mind watching one 30 second ad per video.
I refuse to pay for a service that I never paid for before. How much more profit does Google need to make?
It took them 10 years to go after me and my ad blocker.
One way to work around the notifications is to watch YouTube videos posted on other websites. For example funny animal videos
can be watched on websites dedicated to that genre. Obviously choice is limited but it is better than sitting through ads that are twice as long as a video.
