Due to the recent case of YouTube banning users who utilize Ad Blockers to block advertisements, the impact has been felt by users worldwide. Although some users have sought alternative methods by switching to other Ad Blockers, the popular YouTube game of cat chasing mouse continues unaffected.
Now, users on Reddit have reported that YouTube has implemented a method to slow down video loading if an Ad Blocker is detected. Users are unable to scroll ahead in the video because the video buffer refuses to load properly. However, this issue can be resolved by simply disabling the Ad Blocker. (Refer to the Reddit clip for further details.)
Furthermore, other users commented that not only is the YouTube webpage slower to load, but they are also unable to type comments or load any content. Interestingly, other tabs continue to function normally. Once again, disabling the Ad Blocker solves the problem instantaneously.
TLDR: YouTube has taken action against Ad Blocker users by slowing down video loading and disabling scrolling capabilities. Additionally, users have reported issues with slower webpage loading and the inability to comment or load content. These problems can be resolved by simply deactivating the Ad Blocker.
