This request is followed by a warning that they’ll be limited to only three video streams if they don’t turn off the ad blocker. Repeated violations of this rule may even block their account temporarily, says YouTube.
Disable Ad Blocker or Lose Your Account
YouTube is one of the essential products in the Google ecosystem, with the video platform having billions of users worldwide and earning a whopping sum from its parent company every year. Despite all these aspects, Google keeps YouTube free for all, although it inserts ads to offset this offering’s costs.
Else, the “ video player will be blocked after three videos ,” reads the pop-up notice. The platform reasoned this warning as;
“Ads allow YouTube to stay free for billions of users worldwide. You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription.”
And if users don’t comply in repeated cases, YouTube warns to ban their accounts temporarily and is pretty serious about this . This follows another small experiment the platform conducted in May, where it started blocking users directly without notice upon noticing any ad blockers in their stream.
