YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.

    Doesn’t work anymore. Youtube now replaces the whole video player with the following message:

    Ad blockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service

    • It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. Video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.
    • Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.
    • You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription.
