YouTube has taken a drastic step in its war on ad blockers


On April 15, 2024 YouTube announced that it will be enforcing stronger bans on third-party ad blocking apps for mobile users. The crackdown could make YouTube unusable on some ad blocking mobile apps, forcing users to switch to the official YouTube app and pay up for YouTube Premium to get ad-free viewing. Are ad blockers the root issue, though, or is the placement of YouTube’s ads the real problem? 

Here’s a quick look at YouTube’s latest move in its war against ad blocking and the controversy surrounding it.
