According to a report from 9 To 5 Google and a number of users on Reddit and other platforms, YouTube is once again trying to discourage the use of ad-blocking extensions — using any means possible.
We’ve already seen YouTube forcibly extending initial page loading time for ad-block users, and even eventually blocking video playback outright if you’re detected playing three videos while using an ad-blocker. This behavior has resulted in criminal complaints being filed — and it isn’t even the only major issue YouTube has faced recently.
