YouTube has now been running some tests in hopes to stop users from using ad blockers and switch over to either not using one completely or subscribing to YouTube Premium. It was first noticed by users on Reddit with a pop-up stating that YouTube's video player was being blocked after three videos whilst using an ad blocker. The pop-up also details statements that Ads allow YouTube to be free to all users, the option to go ad-free by subscribing to YouTube Premium, and a report link for those who feel that they have been falsely flagged for using an ad blocker.

A YouTube spokesperson confirmed that the experiment is now being tested globally and that the use of ad blockers violates YouTube's terms of service.
