YouTube has been cracking down on people using ad blockers. Now, a spokesperson says that using ad blockers could lead to "suboptimal viewing."

    YouTube is okay. I’ll watch it if it’s free or very cheap. I won’t watch ads for it.

      And they may decide in kind that they don’t want to offer a service to you for free.

        They’ve already decided that. If they make it too difficult to watch it without ads then I’ll stop watching. No skin off my nose.
