Comment on Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users

  They don’t seem to check if a user has adblock and pays.

  They definitely seem to have checks in place for it. I have Family Premium and so far no issues at all.

    Weird. It’s not happening to me today. Maybe it was something else.

    The article says that this isn’t happening for all users, which indicates that they’re still experimenting with it and haven’t fully rolled it out yet.

      I do have the issue when I’m logged out

    Well, I don’t pay for premium, and I use an adblocker, and I haven’t had any problems. Not having a problem doesn’t prove anything if they’re only targeting a subset of their users…
