Does YouTube remember you use ad lock and make the experience worse on purpose?

I noticed that the video to the side of an already playing video aren't small anymore(maybe that's just their new ui) but on the home page I always use you had the tabs like music games asmr and more tabs but sometimes they don't appear sometimes. also they used to have all kinds but suddenly if they appear like 4 or 5 instead of 20.

also I just can't scroll further than like 20 videos where I used to be able to scroll way further. (this is all on the home tab)

now I thought I might disable my ad blocks to see if its that.

i disabled all of them: ublock origin, adguard, adblock plus, adblocker ultimate.

Yet no difference.

so I thought maybe I use private tab, but its the same!

still don't see ads though even with them turned off? maybe if I remove the cashe?

I tried logging in with a YouTube account I had I hadn't really used for a long time and no problems there!

(in private tab)

this is all on Firefox, I also opened on opera(it also had adblock on) but same thing.

I wonder if people have also had this problem?

Bots are draining your marketing budgets

You! yes you, as a consumer/brand are losing money to bots? Don't believe me, read this.

Fraud is becoming more automated and harder to spot, bots create realistic interactions, carry out large campaigns, and mimic human behavior.

Individuals and businesses alike are targets: from senior citizens and online shoppers to global enterprises and investors.

Brands and agencies must rely on advanced fraud detection, behavioral analytics, brand trust tools and ongoing education to identify such sophisticated threats.

Losing 12.5 Billions to bots ain't a joke.

You can block most ads on android with private DNS

You can block most ads on android with private DNS

This setup filters ad-serving domains at the network level, stopping "generic" apps from loading banners and pop-up overlays.

Quick Setup

Settings > Network & Internet (or Connections).

Tap Private DNS.

Select Private DNS provider hostname.

Enter one of the hostnames below and Save.

Recommended Hostnames

dns.adguard.com

dns.nextdns.io

adblock.dns.mullvad.net

p2.freedns.controld.com

Important Notes

What it hits: Banners and pop-ups in free utility apps and mobile games.

What it misses: Ads in YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook (these serve ads through their own domains).

If a hotel or airport Wi-Fi won't connect, switch Private DNS back to Automatic or Off until you are past the login page
