While it’s important to support your favorite content creators, it’s also important to stay safe online. Giving back to them in this little way may not seem like much, but in the current YouTube climate, it can make a huge difference. In our latest blog post, you'll discover how BlockSite can help you block YouTube, stop wasting time, and learn to say no to watching ‘just one more video. Due to recent changes to YouTube’s revenue model, many creators are panicking. Doing this will ensure all of the ads before their videos are watched, which in turn allows you to support them. Please note: if you really want to support a YouTube channel you enjoy, we suggest turning off uBlock, clicking “Play All,” and letting all of their videos play through. Once it turns blue you’ll know uBlock is blocking ads again. Once you are done, and want uBlock to start blocking ads again, just click the button again. The button will turn grey which means that uBlock is disabled. Just click on the big blue button in the uBlock menu to temporarily disable uBlock. Adding YouTube to your whitelist means you will see ads on all pages you visit while on YouTube, including popup ads and whatever other ad units YouTube utilizes.Īnother easy–and more targeted–way to allow ads for a specific creator on YouTube that you want to support is to simply temporarily disable uBlock.
