Google reveals major YouTube crackdown, part four
Google said it would begin a crackdown on these users last year.
“We’ve launched a global effort to urge viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience,” a Google spokesperson said last year when the crackdown began in 2023.
“Ads support a diverse ecosystem of creators globally and allow billions to access their favorite content on YouTube.”
Now Google is also targeting users on mobile as part of its ongoing war on ad-blockers.

Like with regular TV, YouTube serves up ads to generate money that funds the service.
And it also pays some of these ad earnings to creators who fill the app with content.

But Google says this can’t continue, and will now prevent users from watching videos if they’re taking advantage of these apps.
“We’re strengthening our enforcement on third-party apps that violate YouTube’s Terms of Service, specifically ad-blocking apps,” a YouTube spokesperson explained.
“Viewers who are using these third-party apps may experience buffering issues or see the error ‘The following content is not available on this app’ when trying to watch a video.
“We want to emphasize that our terms don’t allow third-party apps to turn off ads because that prevents the creator from being rewarded for viewership, and Ads on YouTube help support creators and let billions of people around the world use the streaming service.”
