YT blocking ad blockers.10th October 2023 What is bad for creators is even if they choose not to monetize their account/videos, YT still places ads on them and keeps 100% of the money. |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 Guessing their next move will be blocking people from Gmail who block the ads in Gmail or even block people from using Google search if they block the ads there. |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 Many people have multiple Google accounts, different mail addresses for different things. Each of those they want a $13.99 per month payment to access YT. That would be just shy of $70 per month for me! On my Chromebook, I am used to mainly installing A*snip* |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 I have stuff that is supposed to block their blocker, but it has quit working. I know it is not rolled out to everybody and only being trialed for certain folks, but... Oddly enough I can still download the videos on my Chromebook using a YT downloader. *snip* |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 Idk if YouTube have given up, or if my adblocker is blocking YouTube's adblockerblocker, but they've stopped nagging me now and the videos are just playing without fuss again... |

QOTD - October 20239th October 2023 1. Stay away from 3D. 2. Use tools like PureBasic, Jamagic or PICO-8 3. Stick to a very retro Atari 2600 style where I can handle the graphics as I have ZERO artistic talent and can no longer afford to pay somebody to make art for a free game. I also*snip* |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 I wouldn't ever bother. .. Correction, I did once bother, a long long time ago, if you weren't logged in. The frustration vs profit ratio was very much the wrong way 'round. |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 Fred put ads on PureBasic forums. When he first put them up it was using Bing ads. Irony was the Bing ads would crash Internet Explorer for some folks. |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 It is 16 euro's a month here for a premium membership. They recently removed the cheaper (add remove only) 9 euro' version and brought it back a day or so ago. I was looking at a poe or chatgpt membership too. For when getting back to coding.Those*snip* |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 I don't mind ads so much. What I don't like is how YouTube tends to pop up an ad at the worst times, and when the ad ends, often 5 or 6 seconds of the video are skipped. Fortunately, on my laptop, my ad-blocker is still working for now. |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 Other irony is this is on my Chromebook where I spent almost $700 on a decent Chromebook which is money invested into the Google ecosystem, but that is NOT enough for Google. |

YT blocking ad blockers.9th October 2023 The irony is most podcasts I listen to are on YT and are filled with ads that they read live and I happily listen to. Just no interest in the irrelevant BS ads that YT plasters on everything. |
