YouTube confirms three-strikes test for ad blocking, here's how it works

YouTube has confirmed that it's testing a three-strikes policy for blocking ads. It's also outlined how this policy will work.

Will this force more people to subscribe, or drive more people away from Google?

Think it’s going to hurt google forcing users to transition to a different platform.

I already get 20 minute advertisements on a 1 minute YouTube video. At least I can skip it.

But Google is getting ridiculous.

YT has already forced me to go to Premium, the ads got ridiculous ! No one expects advertisements to be totally honest and truthful, BUT outright lies were getting on my nerves. There should be a legally enforceable truth quotient sticker on each ad.
Really. $4 a week is not too bad for peace and quiet,and we can skip the creator’s embedded ads.

It's $24 a month now? GEEZ. Not me! I didn't want it when it was $9.99 a month.

Paying 24 dollars a month for google to harvest your data , good luck.

No, I am sorry if I gave that impression. It costs me £15.99 a month. Which I regard as reasonable,I suppose. I hate advertisements and can find no sensible way to avoid them apart from this.

That’s about $21 a month, led wasn’t too far off.

Interesting. It’s $15.99 (+sales taxes) here as well.



I will probably pass on it. I pay already for 4 different streaming services; instead I would cancel my YouTube account if it gets overwhelming

You're right. I looked at it wrong. $4 a week is $16. My Wife died last week, and I'm not all there.

My condolences, it’s hard for a while.
