A Redditor has discovered a popup on YouTube, warning them of a three-strikes policy for blocking ads. YouTube has since confirmed the test.

Another nail in the coffin for the “modern” internet

    The fact that no one who knows about ad-blockers will realistically turn it off for youtube kinda drives them into a corner right?

    Maybe they should address the core reasons that everyone who is aware uses ad blockers.

      The core being that ads suck: i don’t think this one is solvable.

      Everyone says they are okay with “reasonable” ads, but I have been alive long enough to know that just isn’t true as one mans reasonable is another’s objectionable.

      Besides, adblockers are needed all over the internet so if I have in there anyways, why would take extra steps to diminish the youtube experience for myself?
