YouTube confirms three-strikes test for ad blocking - Pawb.Social

okay Google, how about this. I already pay for premium, but Im too lazy to disable my adblocker for just your site, can we just call it a draw and move on?

Everything Google has done since the end of the, “Don’t be evil”, days has made me want less and less to do with them. I’ve been trying to scrub them from my life for a bit now, the only two things I still use being Gmail and YouTube. Though I’m pretty close to cutting those ties as well now. I just wish more the creators i liked weren’t only on there.
The problem is, there is no alternative to youtube. Like, at all.
Unfortunately yeah, at best right now there are other places you can go for some of the same content, but most creators are exclusive to YouTube. It’s part of the reason I can’t get completely away from Google yet.
