Video player will be blocked after 3 videos fix bypass on reddit

YouTube has introduced a new feature that has left users feeling rather vexed. For those who have ad-blockers installed, attempting to view content on the platform triggers a pop-up warning message that sternly states, “the video player will be blocked after 3 videos.”

In a bid to combat the increasing prevalence of ad-blockers, YouTube has launched an experiment that necessitates users to either re-enable advertisements on their channels or opt for a subscription to YouTube Premium. The latter choice promises an ad-free viewing journey, a respite from the intrusive marketing messages.

For users employing web browsers equipped with ad-blockers, the ominous “Video player blocked after playing 3 videos” error message becomes a recurring deterrent. This tactic’s overarching goal is to deter viewers from evading advertisements while enjoying video content unless they commit to YouTube Premium, a subscription service tailored for an uninterrupted video streaming experience.

Many patrons of social media platforms have turned to ad-blockers as a means to circumvent advertisements on video streaming services and attain an ad-free ambiance without the additional financial commitment.

However, YouTube’s strict implementation of these limitations has sparked a considerable wave of discontent among its user base. A multitude of disgruntled voices has risen across various platforms, including X (formerly known as Twitter). Some users have even gone as far as declaring their intention to migrate to alternative video streaming platforms, such as Twitch, to avoid the encumbrance of ad-blocking restrictions.

It’s worth noting that YouTube Premium extends an ad-free voyage and is available in India at a cost of Rs 399 for a three-month plan, Rs 129 for a one-month subscription, and Rs 1,290 for an annual subscription. Furthermore, this premium service offers additional perks, including background playback when your mobile device’s screen is locked, the ability to download videos for offline viewing, and access to YouTube Music Premium for uninterrupted music streaming.

These recent developments on YouTube have ignited a vigorous debate regarding the equilibrium between ad-generated revenue and user satisfaction. Many users now find themselves grappling with the question of whether the advantages of an ad-free streaming experience justify the subscription fee.
