    Its their platform . its their choice. We don’t have a choice to force them to allow adblockers. There is always a choice to load content after the ads are served . If they go that route then no adblocker can bypass it.

      EU bullied sites into showing cookies warnings even on sites outside of EU. In effing Russia of all places too. You’d think, with enough torque, anything can be pushed onto them. Even good things.

      Except it’s been shown that doesn’t work by every site ever that tried it and Adblockers still worked.

      That funny popup? Yeah doesn’t exist for me. I deleted it on my end within my device and there is nothing YouTube can do about it.

        Twitch would like to have a word with you, the ads are still shown even with the latest ublock filters. Google absolutely can shove ads into your face that your ad blocker won’t be able to remove, they just don’t do it for now

          Twitch is live streaming which is what probably makes it a challenge to block ads, and the main draw of twitch is watching live content. I’d imagine it’s easier to view content that isn’t live without ads, and people do repost clips after it’s aired where people haven’t encountered ads in contrast to live viewers.

          Then look at television piracy where live viewing will have ads, but pirated content is uploaded with it stripped away. Blocking ads will be something YouTube will have to keep fighting endlessly.

      As the European law stands and is interpreted, yes we can force them to remove their current implemention
