News & Reviews:   youtube rumour

New Update - YouTube has confirmed it's an experiment. The spokesperson said "We’re running a small experiment globally that urges viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium. Ad blocker detection is not new, and other publishers regularly ask viewers to disable ad blockers." 

Back in May, it was reported that YouTube was experimenting with blocking Ad Blockers on its platform. We haven't really heard anything since then until today when Redditor Reddit_n_Me got a new message regarding AdBlock on his YouTube.
