YOUTUBE TESTS DISABLING VIDEOS FOR PEOPLE USING AD BLOCKERS
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
YouTube is running a small global experiment that prompts users with ad blockers to allow ads or try YouTube Premium. Some users have reported that video playback is being cut off after viewing more than three videos when an ad blocker is active. YouTube says that users will receive multiple warnings before playback is disrupted. Users can dispute their bans if they feel that they have been falsely flagged as using an ad blocker.
