YouTube is taking a new approach to combat ad blockers by skipping to the end of videos if it detects that a user has an ad blocker enabled. This has been reported by users who have tried to watch a video on the platform, only to be immediately taken to the final part without being able to view the full content.
According to reports from forums and social media, users with ad blockers installed are the ones experiencing this issue. This action by YouTube is seen as another step in their ongoing battle against ad blocking programs, as advertising is crucial for their business.
Last year, YouTube took measures to discourage users from using ad blockers, starting with warning messages and then progressing to slowing down or even blocking video playback. These efforts resulted in a decrease in the installation of programs like AdGuard and Ghostery, as users responded to YouTube’s initiatives.
