Right, by forcing me to NOT be advertised to for ~30-45 seconds you are going to get me to disable an adblocker so that I will be advertised to?

From the post:

>Multiple YouTube users are now reporting on social media that YouTube is serving them with blank ads or black screens before a video when they are using an ad-blocker extension. The black screens appear for the length of a typical YouTube pre-roll or ad insert before displaying the actual content of the video the viewer wants to watch.

I haven't seen this yet, but my ublock lists are pretty aggressive. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
