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? What fucking moron thought this would have any impact other than people ignoring the "dead air" time like they would if they were forced to see an ad anyway?

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.
They have been doing this for at least 3 months. I updated my ad-block extension and that behavior is gone. No more waiting time.
