There's been a lot of talk about this, but I've yet to see it. It's either being A/B tested and not fully rolled out, or whatever way they're detecting adblock isn't catching me.
There's plenty of pictures online though of people getting the message.
Who is YouTube’s competitor ?
Alternatives to YouTube include Vimeo and the fediverse's Peertube, but I am not sure they qualify as competitors.
Actually, the peer-sharing nature of Peertube makes me wonder if it could handle a sudden surge of users better than the rest of the fediverse.
If YouTube does go entirely the route they are going, peertube may as well become a competitor. We need people to start downloading and storing YouTube videos to host on these servers. It just sucks, the legal hoops people will need it fly through... It's almost as if people are going to need to start moving to the darkweb as well.
