YouTube, the popular video-sharing platform, has once again launched an experiment targeting users who employ ad blockers. This time, YouTube warns users that their video playback will be limited to just three views unless they disable their ad-blocking software or whitelist the site.

    rather than uninstalling adblockers entirely, can’t they just whitelist YouTube? Ad Trackers only have value when they track people across multiple sites: if the tracker only functions on YT then users get the video views they want and YT gets near-worthless tracking data.

      There is a reason I only watch YouTube on my phone or laptop and not my smart TV. Because we went from one ad every few videos to multiple unskippable ads per video. It has become worse than old cable TV.
