Anyone get this too? They tell you either, turn off the ad blocker or go YouTube Premium. After 3 videos you are kicked off the platform.

I haven't gotten that though I have gotten white screens with a skip ad button I have to click to move on. I mostly just watch on my TV anyway so not really a gigantic deal.
Really finding this broader trend of sites harassing you to turn off your adblock incredibly irritating though. Especially since 98% of the time they can't properly process if you do whitelist them, offhand I ended up turning it back on on Rotten Tomatoes because the site was going to keep harassing me regardless so might as well deny them ad money.

Ugh great. Haven't had this yet, and I've been listening to music on Youtube most of the afternoon.

Great, I’ll turn it back on when the content creators suddenly become billionaires as well, since I’m denying them so much ad money.

I haven't seen this yet. If it does start happening, it will greatly reduce the amount of youtube I view.

I would not have a problem if I was not forced to watch a 60 second ad to watch a 30 second video. I don't mind ads now and again but there's a point where it's more ads than content.
I'm sure someone will make an extension that fixes this in a matter of hours.

I don't use an ad blocker on youtube since even if it's peanuts, I do want the youtubers to get the ad money from me. That said, if it's working at all on uBlock Origin or some other bigger ones, that won't be for long. It never is long before workarounds are found.

I’m almost never watching YT on my laptop, only on TV or my phone so this doesn’t really bother me

That's fine. I intentionally never buy anything they overpromote anyway, so f*** you Google.

It's not affecting me on Chrome, or Opera, and highly doubt it will affect Opera at all.

No doubt this new ad blocker will be effective for a good solid day or so before the browser apps find a work around.

I always chromecast YouTube to my tv so ads are just kind of part of the background noise for me. its only really annoying if an ad happens halfway through a really long song I'm listening to and that doesnt happen much.

YouTube trying to force me into getting YouTube premium by bombarding it with ads has me like the phone in Toy Story 3 going “They’ll never break me” (Yes even though he was broken soon after lol that part won’t happen)
See if it was a bit more reasonable in price like £3 or £4 for just an ad free version I’d actually genuinely consider it but £10 a month? Disney Plus costs less jeez

Did you get this on a computer or mobile? And what browser? Desktop on Microsoft Edge. So far Google Chrome hasn't given me trouble yet.
