Popular video-sharing platform YouTube has confirmed today how it is carrying out a major crackdown against ad-blocking apps.
The company is going after all such mobile apps that are explicitly designed to stop viewers from seeing ads on the platform.
YouTube mentioned today how it’s making great efforts to strengthen its enforcement against the platforms that it feels are violating the company’s Terms of Service, especially when it comes down to ad blockers.
Most users will soon witness error alerts popping up on their screens if they wish to see content displayed via alternative chats that make use of these apps. They would also witness some buffering issues along the way as well.
The goal is to focus more on terms and clauses that do not allow third parties to switch ads off as that stops creators from getting rewarded for their hard work and extreme viewership.
Similarly, ads across the platform are designed to support creators and enable billions to assist with the help of streaming services from all over the globe.
In case you didn’t know, YouTube Premium struck the 100 million mark for subscribers in February this year and that’s even providing another solution for the issue as people preferring a completely ad-free endeavor would be able to benefit from it.
Meanwhile, Google’s leading video website mentioned how it’s only enabling apps belonging to third parties to make use of API when following the API Terms of Service. As mentioned by YouTube in the past, it was more after YouTube Vanced.
From now onwards, the app says its main goal is to crack down against those clients violating policies. When they do find apps that go against such terms, they hope to take the right sort of action to ensure the platforms remain safe at all times for both viewers as well as creators.
The goal seems to be more related to ensuring the enforcement is strengthened across apps belonging to third parties which goes against the company’s Terms of Service and that is said to be very true for apps that block ads.
Those viewers who make use of apps belonging to third parties could experience issues linked to buffering or see errors that state that the sort of content they’re trying to see is not present on the platform.
Right now, it’s all about third-party apps making the most of APIs when they’re in line with the respective Terms of Service. If they find a platform that violates such terms, they aim to take the right actions and ensure the platform remains protected at all times for viewers, creators, and more.
So yes, this time it seems more serious than before. The crackdown against ad blockers is in place and if the user is not a fan, they can simply pay a little extra and subscribe to YouTube Premium to make the most of it.
