Argentina? Aren't they struggling to eat over there? They should be glad anyone's willing/able to pay for premium at all.
People who are struggling to eat are not buying premium at the lower prices either. The people in Argentina who get it are rich people or people in the States who used a VPN to sign up.

Youtube is now raising Premium prices in several countries. In some cases nearly doubling the price:

I don't know if its "winning". I have yet to see if I can include Adblock+ on Brave, because right now anytime I watch a YouTube video, end cards cover the screen making the last 15-20 seconds unwatchable.

I absolutely hate these. Especially when they were applied retroactively to older videos not made for them.

I use Edge and my adblock still works. Occasionally I get fake ads but they don't matter (the video player is just blank and it says some shit like "ad 0:30" so I refresh the page and the video works as normal)

I believe Brave has a built in adblocker. I never downloaded anything extra for it.

Pretty sure those 'end cards' have always been a thing with some videos. I've always seen them even before this.

Yes, but with Chrome you have the option to block them with Adblocker+. I can't find any option to do that on Brave, which sucks.

If those are what I'm thinking they are, then you can block them with enhancer for youtube. Under settings go to Appearance and check Automatically hide info cards and end screens.

I'm now getting "Ad blockers are not allowed on Youtube!" on Firefox

Even with Ublock and ADblocker for Youtube

So far I haven't had the "3 strikes" thing and I can close the window. But it's clearly a death sentence.

Have you cleared the cache and updated the filters? Having two adblockers also may conflict in some way. Got privacy badger? It's good too. Somehow I've never had these issues yet.

Fadblock+Chrome stopped working today and I had to remove and reinstall it.

Brave still seems to be the only thing that consistently works.

Really?

Oh man, sorry about that.

I thought Fadblock was the first real solution on this. :/

It works again though. I googled and found that suggestion of reinstalling in case it stops. Maybe it got updated.

They've tried turning off the addon in Chrome.
The creator said they literally can't stop it from functioning unless they overhaul their entire video player.

Don't worry that's coming. Soon YouTube will itself just be a chrome extension and the mobile application. The website will just instruct you to download Chrome.

So I've had pc+firefox+ubock working for a few weeks. It just stopped working when I hit the link to "watch video on youtube" via an embedded video. As already happened twice I expect it to work on firefox again after a few days of using a different browser for youtube.

Biggest thing is you should only be using one adblocker at a time. Firefox + uBlock Origin is a very reliable combo, just don't use Ghostery or other crap like that with it.

so i just had the stupid warning come up and i did the fix and it's gone now. i read somewhere that you block youtube temporarily during the purge/update part so if you guys aren't doing that, try it.

like, with just firefox and ublock. reset to default, add http://www.youtube.com to your filter list, purge caches if it lets you, update now, remove youtube from block list, try watching video.

I'm using Chrome + uBlock on my laptop and Brave on my iPhone and no ads. I never get ads on my phone, but occasionally I have to update uBlock when I get that no ad blockers allowed message. But they're never behind; updating it always works.

Id be more fine with ads if they actually worked on me. Not talking about being immune, nobody is, but how about showing me stuff I actually would want one day? You collected data on me for decades, why are you showing me cars, mens shampoo, Call of Duty, vacuum cleaners and what else not? I will never buy that stuff, not even for someone else. I dont even get ads of stuff Im actually googling, show me ads of what I need please.

Google owns Chrome and has had built-in anti-adblock code written in for years:

Now it's just being improved.

Apparently, due to the Irish lawsuit about the javascript in Youtube's anti-adblocker breaching privacy, Google are making it so you have to click these annoying EU-style consent forms for cookies to confirm you opted in to not using an adblocker.
