YouTube has beenwaging warfare against the use of ad blockersfor quite some time now and its latest trick is the craftiest one yet .
Some YouTube drug user fix to quash the commercial break – which are blinking annoying but provide revenue to both the religious service supplier and hoi polloi creating the videos for everyone to observe – have noticed videos are now skipping all the way to the remainder when playback is attempted .
accord to some people onReddit(via9to5Google ) , only invalid their ad - blocker causes video recording performance to resume as intended . Some people sound out that if they have been able to work around the skip , the audio frequency degenerate out completely .
It might be some sort of trouble with the ad blocker itself . It might also be the ad blocker causing accidental problems as it interacts with YouTube . However , judging by recent form , it seems most likely this is another ploy from YouTube to discourage utilisation of the revenue - sapping technical school .
YouTube , of course , give substance abuser the option to remove the ads by paying forYouTube Premium , which is expensive but let in access code to the YouTube Music service . However , that would involve ad - swervers have to pay for music too .
Naturally , Reddit is inundated with folks who are aggrieved at the sheer audacity of Google interfere with their unalienable rights to detached message on the internet and anything that might pay for that free content .
“ I hate YouTube so much . Greedy Company , ” write _ k1llswitch . “ The ad are ridiculous sometimes and I will NEVER devote a penny for your stupid premium Robert William Service . I do n’t use YouTube on my sound so that ai n’t no trouble and I hazard I just have to hold back until the AdBlock the great unwashed find a style to get it bring again . ”
The apparent skipping issuing fare after Google beganwarning that hoi polloi with ad - blocking agent enabledwould not be able to watch videos last autumn . Then playback slowed and , in some causa , unduly taxed the computer ’s storage andcaused slow performanceof the car itself .
One call back this is a battle YouTube is likely going to continue push , as ad blocker and users retain to insist on finding new workarounds .
