After yet another crackdown on ad-blockers, YouTube users are noticing videos that load slowly and direct them to a support page about turning off ad-blocking extensions.

    Google will never get a cent out of me, willingly.

    If it gets annoying enough, and FreeTube stops working, I’ll find something better to do with my time.

      Maybe people will start torrenting youtube rips if they somehow manage to kill ad blockers.

      Yep, lol. Same mindset here. Although I doubt YouTube will ever do a hard cut on piracy. That would lead to a major decline in viewership and wouldn’t look good to shareholders.
