Last year, YouTube launched a war against extensions that block ads and curb its advertising revenue. Google is taking the second step and is now attacking applications that allow you to bypass advertising by opening videos directly from their interface.
YouTube no longer wants these third-party apps

YouTube is above all a participatory video streaming site where each user (professional or individual) can create their own universe and share all their videos with others.

If Google first focused on browsers and their extensions, the Mountain View firm is now targeting third-party applications that display YouTube videos by bypassing advertising, these being accused of not respecting its conditions of use.
Among the most popular, AdGuard allows you to watch YouTube videos without advertising pages by displaying them from its own interface. As GSMArena explains, an error message will soon be displayed if you try to view one from this application or those with similar functionality.
YouTube explains that it does not allow third-party applications to disable advertisements because this process “prevents the creator from being rewarded for his audience”. Advertising revenue allows “support videographers” who distribute content to “billions of people around the world”.
As always, YouTube invites you to subscribe to YouTube Premium to remove ads.
