YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    That’s a oddly specific way to block ads, why not just use a regular adblocker?

        I was under the impression that instead of using an adblocker, they’ve just used a VPN, even before adblockers being blocked, and now it’s stopped working because of these changes.
