[...] YouTube could ban users’ accounts that use some type of ads blocker. In other words, if you use Adblock or some type of app or extension to not see the advertising that appears on YouTube. Well … Your account could be banned forever.

The specific point mentioned in this action, says the following: “YouTube may terminate your access. Or your Google account’s access to all or part of the Service if YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable.”

This makes it very clear that not only could they ban you from , they could also unsubscribe your Gmail, Adsense, Adwords and all the services related to the Google world.

I guess my account will be banned. Some YouTubers got 50-11 ads in a 10minute vlog. No mam I'm not watching all those ads.

This is ridiculous. Time for a rival platform to pop off.

First they false flag and demonetize some of my favorite storytellers on youtube, now this?

k..I use other platforms for most of my streaming and viewing these days. Good riddance. I wouldn't bend to their requirements of having a Google + account (no more comments and liking comments) to fully use YT for the last few years and won't bend to this, either.

But what are you doing watching James in the first place? :ROFLMAO:

Astute observation.

I personally believe that many people here who proclaim to loathe James and the other prominent yt gurus actually are their biggest fans. Complain about him in beauty alley and net famous, then hate watch him to see what he's up to.

Net Alley is a dark and confusing place. I have seen people confess that they hate the subject of the thread as well as complain when said subject does not "post something they can hate". Those were their words.

I take most things on this site with a grain of salt. I have no interest in participating in the doom and gloom.I am on here for the laughs.

The hell they will! I've had my adblock for years and will never give it up. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I sit through their damn ads.

I only see one source reporting this (OPs). YouTube is as money and sponsor hungry as any other but they know better. Doing this would require them to ban majority of their users, it'd be suicide for them as a company. This isn't happening.

They gotta realize that would piss off a significant amount of people, especially people who actually do make money for them. uBlock Origin is singlehandedly why I started using chrome because every other adblocker for safari wouldn't work with youtube, and that was almost a year ago. Every time I use youtube on my phone there's so many unskippable ads. It could be a 25 second clip and yet you go through 1:30 worth of ads

They will have to ban the majority of their users then. If they do this Google services will die and a competition will take their place.
