I haven’t watched an ad on youtube for at least the last 5 years. Ad blocking is cyber security.
They have been pushing adblock detecting technologies in some regions. I’m preparing for having to stop using Youtube when they roll it out here.
I don’t think you’ll be losing out on much. Their algorithm has gone to shit recently and finding anything new has become a chore.
Here in Austria I get the anti adblocker message every single time I visit so I don’t care much anymore and just dropped it. I’m rather watching shows now lol
