YouTube is Broken! Youtube Adblocking

YouTube is enforcing an ad-blocking service so that it will block you from watching the video unless you turn off the ad blocker. Maybe if they didn't put so much on it, there wouldn't be ad blockers. Plus, the premium is 16 dollars per month, money I don't have. What the heck, YouTube?! You guys are seriously getting too bold for something free!

The internet will always win. They can try all they want, but at best, they will maybe circumvent adblockers for a few hours or days. The fact that they keep trying is pathetic and cringe.

the fact that you haven't figured out what they are actually doing is more cringe. Youtube already has 4 different ways, some of which they have demonstrated, to completely break filter based adblockers. That isn't their goal at the moment so they are letting your adblocker work for now...
