"Ad blockers violate YouTube's terms of service. Google is ramping up its campaign against ad-blockers, making it increasingly annoying to watch content on the platform."

Some users have cited receiving countdown prompts urging them to disable their ad-blockers, exemplifying the platform's aggressive stance against those circumventing ads.
