YouTube is reportedly planning to disable the ability to block ads for non- s. The video streaming platform has been spotted testing a new feature to block ad blockers from using YouTube.

To enjoy ad-free content on the platform, YouTube recommends s to subscribe to YouTube . In India, YouTube is priced at Rs. 1,290 for a year.

A Reddit has shared the screengrab of a YouTube Pop-up notification which reads “Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube.” The screenshot went on to explain that ads make video streaming free for billions of s worldwide and hence, s can subscribe to YouTube for an ad-free experience.

It seems like YouTube will no longer allow s to play videos with their ad block enabled. Those willing to enjoy ad-free content on the platform can pay Rs. 1,290 annually for YouTube .
