Windows Phone gets revenge on YouTube from the grave by helping users bypass its ad-blocker-blocker::Windows Phone to the rescue. A lot of YouTube users want to know how to get around the new annoying YouTube pop-up telling viewers to disable their ad-blocker.

Also, lots of the younger generations didn't really mind the ads. After this news showed up, we had a discussion going on my company discord. Most of the older people started sharing workarounds but most of the younger people said that they've been using YouTube with ads and didn't see any problem with it.

I've seen the same. I wonder if the older you get, the more you value your time.

I remember seeing lots of ad breaks on TV when I was a kid and it didn't stop me from watching a show. Now if an ad break happens, I am reminded why I don't own a TV and turn it off.

In my case, it's less of a "value my time" and more "I'm just tired of being advertised to constantly and want a break"
