YouTube will be enforcing ad-blocking methods aimed at allowing users to enjoy videos interruption-free.
The latest crackdown targets third-party apps that offer a YouTube experience devoid of the usual ads seen on the official platform.
The move seems to be directed more towards users of these apps according to a recent update on the Community Support Page.
This enforcement action may result in buffering problems or content unavailability for those using such third-party applications.
YouTube is pushing for more sign-ups for YouTube Premium, a subscription service offering ad-free YouTube viewing for $13.99 per month.
Last year, YouTube began efforts to prevent ad-blockers, which violated their API Services Terms of Service.
It will be interesting to observe the impact of these tactics on these widely used apps globally.
If you are a user of ad-free YouTube, share any challenges you’ve faced with these apps in the comments below!
