For a long time, it was circulated on the internet that the best way to get rid of YouTube ads would be blockers. These are extensions that we can install in the browser so that there is no advertising link when accessing the website. However, recent internet testimonials have shown that YouTube will not accept ad blocking.

In recent weeks, publications from users who have received messages from YouTube about the ad blocks.
In this case, these are people who use extensions to prevent advertising from being linked when watching a video. For a long time, these people used the mechanism, until they received the warning.
In that notice, it was written that YouTube did not allow the user to use the blockers, as it was against the principles of the community. Thus, there was also an invitation to uninstall the blockers, or else subscribe to YouTube Premium, which is the official modality of the platform without ads. Otherwise, the user could not use the network.
This gave users the idea that, very soon, YouTube would not fully accept the use of blockers. After all, for now there are still people who have not received the notification and continue to use the mechanism.
However, it is likely that in a short time the platform will notify everyone and prevent the practice.

YouTube is able to monetize access to the platform through linking ads, which is also the monetization channel for content creators.
However, there was the creation of YouTube Premium, similar to the paid version of other streams, such as Spotify. In this case, it is possible to withdraw the advertisements under the payment of fees.
With blockers, YouTube loses its great chance of monetizing, since users manage to circumvent the original source of revenue, ads. Furthermore, the user with the blocker has no reason to pay for the premium version.
