Youtube is one of the biggest video sharing platforms. It boasts over 2 million monthly users and more than 70% of internet users have a youtube account. With millions of content to choose from, we can spend hours on youtube. The platform dominates the internet.
Even though creating a Youtube account is free of cost, you can watch limitless unpaid content. The only drawbacks are ads, nothing is worse than clicking on the video of your favourite youtube and the first thing you see is an ad instead of the video. Many times you can’t even skip YouTube ads and watch them till the end to watch the video.
We do know that these ads generate revenues, but if they spoil the viewing experience then the viewer might close the video and leave even before you get to introduce your sponsored brands. And many times there are no restrictions to the number of ads in video, sometimes an hour-long video has more than 12 ads. This befits no one as the user would close the video when they see the number of ads and the youtube channel would, in turn, lose its viewers. So we have found some ways through which you can block ads on youtube.
