  • YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

I unblock ads on AVForums. And honestly, the ads are either really well targeted (because I'm probably going to buy that amplifier eventually), or random ebay stuff.

If they started serving up the generic "reduce belly fat in 2 seconds with this simple trick" with some AI generated picture, I'd re-evaluate very quicly.
