No buffering! YouTube’s “block ads and block ads” mechanism confirmed to be expanded globally
archyde news is an important source of revenue for online services, and YouTube naturally has no plans to backtrack on its policy of counter-blocking Ad Blocker. With the gradual implementation of relevant policies that include both carrot and stick – the more positive one may be the so-called “Premium bit rate enhanced” image quality option (but how it actually works, everyone can probably guess). As for the more rigid blocking policy, it will start with soft warnings and then the experimental function of “blocking the last three videos from viewing” starting in June.
Now, according to an official statement obtained by foreign media The Verge, many users who use the ad blocking function have discovered that YouTube’s blocking mechanism no longer buffers but will directly block viewing. It is confirmed that it will be expanded. to the world.

The report pointed out that once detected by YouTube’s anti-ad blocker mechanism, it will not be played from now on. It will prompt you through the page “video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.” That is, unless you put YouTube into the whitelist of the ad blocker or turn off the function, you will not be able to play the video. . Allowing you to choose between “watching ads” and “subscribing” – Hey, who said there is an option to continue trying the new Ad Blocker.
As more and more people reported that they installed Ad Blocker without showing it to them. It also seems to be in line with YouTube’s claim to the media this time that it has expanded this mechanism from a small-scale test to a global scale.
An official YouTube spokesperson mentioned that installing this type of ad blocking mechanism basically violates the platform’s terms of service. They even took the opportunity to make a warm statement that would support the diverse ecology of creators around the world.
Indeed! Without enough revenue to support the platform in providing revenue, it would be really difficult to achieve the current vigorous creative development of YouTube.
However, YouTube Premium is differentiated in terms of image quality, experience, new features, etc., as well as continuous adjustments in length/number of times, as well as the recent increase in subscription fees. How can the platform control the balance of these factors, so as not to give people the impression that they insist on creating differentiation by depriving people of experience? Or, as revenue/charges increase, more substantial profits can be made to further encourage creators. New policies etc. I believe that in addition to actively blocking violations of user terms, it is worth emphasizing the positive encouragement direction that makes everyone more willing to pay for subscriptions.
I just look forward to YouTube, which values creators so much, developing more and better platform features and experiences in the future.
