  Why are people using ad blockers instead of using new pipe? I’ve been using it for a year or something with zero ads and issues

    Not everyone is using Youtube exclusively on their phones, you know?

      I did not know it was phone exclusive. Seems like a worthwhile reason to get BlueStacks.

    Because:

    A) New Pipe is a phone app only.
    B) People view YouTube on devices other than phones.
    C) People view more websites than just YouTube, on which they also want to block ads.

      the latter is why you just disable the adblocker on specific sites, instead of uninstalling it completely which leaves you open to all the malware infested ads and shit everywhere.

    I’ve yet to get a new pipe link to work on phone or desktop. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

      I'm confused about "new pipe links".

      Newpipe is an app. Do you have trouble setting it as a default app for youtube links?

      Apparently newpipe is only on phones?

      But I don’t know, good luck I guess.

      You could grab BlueStacks or some Android sim and then use the app on your desktop, works like a charm.

  I’ve always just used uBlock on Chrome and I never see ads. I’m not doing anything other than that so it surprises me so many people have such trouble with ads.

  This is the best summary I could come up with:

  ---

  In late October, YouTube confirmed that it had “launched a global effort” to make users disable ad blockers on the site.

  Like many other Google-owned services, YouTube has been making the bulk of its money by showing targeted ads that are embedded directly in the user-generated content.

  and its cult status in the media-playing-and-streaming landscape, the escalation of the YouTube’s war against ad blockers drew a lot of media attention.

  However, we needed time to make the necessary adjustments — not least because until YouTube expanded its test to a significant portion of its users, we had a very limited set of data to work with.

  Note: For illustrative purposes, we have truncated the graph so the 8% drop in the number of users during the early stages of YouTube’s crackdown may appear more pronounced than it actually was

  After an initial panic, users stopped deserting the AdGuard Ad Blocker extension for Chrome en masse.
