    So they are cracking down on Adblockers and increasing the price of Premium as well.

    I wish there was an alt platform that we could use, because even the FBI recommends using an Adblockers (and TBH what sane person would roll without one?)

      The FBI does not recommend using adblockers so that you can avoid ads on YouTube. That’s just 🤦‍♂️ worthy.

      Every adblocker I know of can be disabled on specific sites.

      I know this is an unpopular opinion here, but Google is within their rights to show ads or make you pay. It costs more than it probably should, and they serve more ads than they should, but their platform is unique and expensive to run; most uploads do not make them money.
