Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened

Well, I for one stopped seeing YouTube videos ever since they started requiring me to Sign On because I’m using an AdBlocker and am behind a VPN.

If for some reason it’s actually required that I watch it, I’ll disconnect from the VPN and watch it, if not, I just move on.

In the last 6 months or so I have disconnected my VPN to watch a YouTube video maybe once, whilst I just moved on maybe hundred times or so (less and less as I increasingly I won’t even click on links for YouTube).
