So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work.

I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷‍♂️

    Me choosing not to download parts of a webpage isn’t piracy, it’s me choosing not to download certain parts of a web page. Nobody has any right to force data I don’t want onto my computer except me.

    Subsequently, the owner of the website also has the right to not serve you parts of a web page. It’s a two-way street mate. This argument that a service provider is obligated to give you everything you want without any conditions simply does not stand up to any real scrutiny.

      You’re absolutely right. I didn’t say they don’t. But as long as they still do let me access it, I’ll keep using an adblocker on their website. Once the spigot gets turned off for good, I’ll move elsewhere.
