I use Chrome on a laptop, and the detection only works if I'm logged into YouTube. When I'm not, my adblocker still works.

It started showing for me yesterday. No three strikes warning, though.

It's been showing up for me every 10 or so videos but it's just been a pop up you can't close out of for like 5 seconds then everything is peachy. More of a wag of the finger than a flat out warning. Still annoying as hell.

I got the three strikes pop up, so I turned off ad blocker and now have been taken to just blocking the ads myself using the google ad control icon. (IE: the tiny ! icon on the lower left bottom of the screen.) or reloading the window which skips any ad.
It somewhat works as there has been more than a few times where the video doesn't play any ads at all.

I totally forgot about this. I almost never watch it on my laptop, normally just on my tv but had definitely noticed there were making you sit through a lot more commercials before you can skip

Haven't watched Youtube in a browser in years now. TV or use the app on my mobile.
Like on average how bad is the ads now? 10 minute video will have what 2 ads?
Had Youtube Premium for almost 3 years now.

Had Youtube Premium for almost 3 years now. Honestly I don't care enough to block a 5-10 second ad. And if it's longer than that I can skip it after like 10 seconds

I don't so much mind ads during the video, but 2 ads before the damn thing even starts? Then you have the creator telling you about Raid: Shadow Legends? Nah, dude.

And if it's longer than that I can skip it after like 10 seconds I got YT Premium as a gift when they had a sale for Black Friday. And while the no ads thing is nice,I use the download vids to my tablet/phone feature and the access to Youtube msuic way way more often. Plus share the subb with her. So that 14 bucks a month is really 7. Not bad. Also I have youtube playing often. Most nights I crash out with it going. So while YT Premium is one of the more expensive subs I have i get plenty of use out of it.

I used to listen to music playlists on youtube a lot. Because of this, I just started using Spotify again. There's still ads, but at least I get a few songs first.

Still annoying as hell. Ok NOW I'm getting the "we'll lock you" warnings despite having the newest U block. New Browser might be in order.

I have to see Brian Zane every week, but I guess everyone else is SOL and JWF, because if I have to sit through ads, I'm done with YouTube and will just pirate everything like a normal person.

I've started getting a weird delay before the video plays. Like, a black screen, and the title of the ad shows up for a second or so before the video begins. A bit like the advert is trying to force it's way past the adblocker but failing.

Why is it that sites and browsers and the like never stop to think… “hang on, this shit is an awful experience”?
I mean with general websites being ad laden nearly impossible to navigate messes of shit, or video hosting sites with ads almost doubling the runtime of a video.
They all cry “please turn off the ad blocker”, but never think to fix the user experience.
Have you ever clicked on a link you see in your Facebook feed. Sites like Bored Panda, Memebase or Icanhazcheezeburger? Just f***ing terrible.
I can put up with ads.. But the problem is always the God damn same.. You give them an inch, they take a goddam mile.
That's why people use adblock and f*** anyone that guilts people for doing so

Anyone having problems with the YT Shorts? If I try and press down to go to the next short, it gets confused and just goes back to the first video over and over.
