Does Google have no issues with ad blocking as long as you pay for YouTube premium? I have premium because it's included with my YouTube music subscription but I still use uBlock Origin in Firefox. I have never seen any requests for me to disable it while on YouTube or any other Google owned service.
I have YouTube Premium and use the included ad-blocker of OperaGX. Never had that pop up and my YouTube runs like it always has.
I think once you pay for Premium they don't care anymore of you have an ad-blocker running.
Yeah, both YouTube and the creators get way more money from you paying for premium than even watching hours of ads per day. Google demanding you disable ad block after you paid them would effectively amount to biting the hand that feeds them.
Obviously, why would they discourage a paying customer?
Why make money off me once if they can make money off me twice.
because in such case they are risking making no money off you
They will still be able to make money off selling my online profile and serving ads to me even if I block them....
sure, but you could cancel your subscription
I use uBlock on Firefox and never got any kind of notification either. Not a paying customer.
