    Youtube’s crackdown on adblocker usage has created a huge Streisand effect. There’s a lot of people all over the world that would’ve never known about adblockers if youtube just didn’t say anything and didn’t do exactly what they did.

    Now, all the major adblockers and ad-blocking browsers have stepped their game up and made it so people can still block ads on youtube.

    There’s userscripts you can get from greasyfork…or is it greaseyfork that allow you to bypass all of youtube’s bullshit.

    100% of the videos that actually belong on youtube are almost always demonetized anyway.

    If you’re not constantly getting demonetized on every video you put out, despite bending over backwards to follow the rules, you’re doing something wrong.

      I see this sentiment a lot. Is there any reliable data to support it?
