YouTube ads are getting more frustrating, with some users reporting unskippable ads that are nearly an hour long. Are ad blockers to blame?

    They force paying customers ( yt music premium & yt premium ) to disable ad blockers, too. Why? If I accordingly to the contract shouldn’t get any ads why they would need to punish for blocking ads which shouldn’t exist :-)?

      I pay for YT premium and use unlock origin + privacy badger and don’t see any ads on YT.

      They don’t. I use ad blockers and pay for a premium subscription. Everything works fine without disabling the blockers.

        They do very often, not every time but they do. I faced it several times so I did finish my subscriptions (both youtube music and youtube premium)
