After yet another crackdown on ad-blockers, YouTube users are noticing videos that load slowly and direct them to a support page about turning off ad-blocking extensions.

    Don’t care, still better than the ads.

    I’ll sit for 2 minutes in front of a black screen and it’ll still be better than 45 seconds of ads.
