YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers

news.ycombinator.com Ben Schoon 2025-09-19 21:29:10

Over the past month or so, many YouTubers have been reporting major drops to their video view counts. Theories have run wild, but there’s one explanation involving ad blockers that makes the most sense, but YouTube isn’t confirming anything directly. Since mid-August, many YouTubers have noticed their view counts are considerably lower than they were before, in some cases with very drastic drops. The reason for the drop, though, has been shrouded in mystery for many creators. The most likely e

YouTube Premium’s main shortcoming is stopping me from subscribing

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-24 23:00:59

Joe Maring / Android Authority Not a day goes by without YouTube urging me to subscribe to Premium. Whether barraging me with endless ads or taunting me with the lack of free downloads and background play support, Google believes it has a compelling case of pay-to-play. I’m not so sure. Even though a Premium subscription would save me a lot of headaches and allow me access to other features, there are no plans that fit my living situation, and this is likely a problem for many others as well.

And for anyone who has been subscribed to YouTube TV for a while, you probably saw this coming. When YouTube TV initially launched in 2017, the service cost just $34.99 each month — an unbelievably good deal by today’s standards.

Many YouTube content creators, myself included, noticed something in early to mid-August: views were down.

But this was substantial. I had 4 10/10 videos in a row, which is unprecedented. I mean, my content could just be terrible all the sudden, and I've lost all but my core audie
