I watch YouTube every single day, but I don’t like sitting through advertisements before and during my videos. Because of this, I pay $14/month for YouTube Premium to remove those ads and get on with my day — as do millions of other YouTube Premium subscribers.
However, some people use a different approach: ad blockers. Using ad blockers to bypass YouTube ads is not a new practice, and each year, YouTube becomes more aggressive in cracking down on such behavior. With each new measure it introduces, YouTube makes ad-blocking a less and less attractive option.
