From the post: "After a few months of testing, YouTube has opened the floodgates to its blocking of ad blockers, and that’s led to a wave of uninstalls – but not of YouTube.

YouTube’s crackdown on ad blockers started earlier this year in a limited capacity and slowly ramped up to affect more and more users. As of this week, the practice was in full swing, affecting virtually anyone using an ad blocker around the globe. YouTube says that using an ad blocker violates the platform’s policies."

At one time I was being lazy and using the YouTube app on my phone. Then the stupid thing was playing some 2-3 minute scrolling text stupid shit while I was lifting weights at the gym. I was in the middle of lifting, and I thought the phone stopped playing music. That also brings up the issue of using YouTube for listening and not watching. Some ads would just play stupid music and leave me clueless as to what they were advertising.
