For most of the sites, earning is being done by Ads. So if they don’t run ads they will not earn the required profits to run that particular website and then maintenance will be problems and the same will be user experience.
We have heard of many websites closing due to this as they were unable to maintain because of lack of revenue which is basically done by Ads. Similarly, websites that provide downloading data earn more.
YouTube Adblock Popup Fix (Account Settings)
- So there is one simple trick if you are using YouTube with Adblocker and your account is signed in.
- Just open an incognito tab and play YouTube there. Make sure you have Adblock enabled in the incognito mode of the browser.
- Or if you do not want to go into incognito, then simply log out of your YouTube account and if your adblock is enabled you won’t get ads.
- Here the main catch is that you won’t get the history of the YouTube videos you have watched.
