The platform aims to deter the use of these tools, which are considered a violation of its terms of service. With this strategy, users are forced to choose between disabling ad blockers or acquiring the premium version of YouTube.
Reports of slowdowns and unresponsiveness on the site have been noted by users who have active ad blockers. In a post on Reddit, users shared their issues with the site, and upon disabling the ad blocker, everything returned to normal.
