YouTube, the world’s most popular video platform, is struggling with users using ad blockers. The platform is working on a new feature to make this fight even more effective. Along with the new feature, YouTube is testing a countdown tool for ad-blocking alerts. Here are the details!
YouTube gives users two options to watch videos!
As it is known, YouTube infuriates users with advertisements in between videos. The platform offered Premium subscription to users for this advertising problem. However, many users prefer to use an ad blocker rather than paying for a Premium subscription.
In the past months, the platform has stated that it will turn off access to the platform while ad blockers are on. According to the news today, YouTube is officially making this decision. However, Google countered some users with “Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube.” outputs the message.
However, the company directs those who are tired of advertising to two options: to get premium or to endure the process. With its new feature, the countdown tool, YouTube gives a timed warning for the ad blocker.
The new feature in question will be located in the upper right corner of the menu. However, there is no information about the duration of the timer yet. However, it is stated that the access block will be activated after the time expires. The company has stated that it has taken this issue very seriously before.
In addition, on the subject, “In cases where users think that they are using an ad blocker, they can share their feedback with us by clicking the link in the information window.” said. Thus, a solution is offered for people who are fined even if they do not use an ad blocker.
