YouTube runs experiment addressing users with ad blocker
<< < (55/75) > >>
Bicurico:
Today I opened Youtube on my second PC, which has not been used for a few weeks.

Got the Youtube warning in a more agressive form: it said I could only watch 3 videos and there was a timer to close the window. Clicking refresh got rid of it and the video played.

On my main computer, I am not getting any warnings anymore.

I wonder how difficult it would be to just generate lots (hundreds to thousands per minute) of fake ad views using a script. Would be fun to run that on a CGNAT address, then they can't just filter by IP address without losing legitimate views.

Sounds like a fun way to get your IMEI banned.

What? IMEI has nothing to do with anything.

* You're rapidly connecting-disconnecting to carrier's network to obtain different IPs - it might get detected as suspicious activity.
* You're rapidly opening a lot of connections to a remote server - it might get detected as DoS attempt or malware-infected device.
* Google might find out and send abuse notice for your ISP to investigate.
Years ago I made that mistake when testing failover code in an IoT embedded system. Luckily this was before SIM cards had to be registered with identity document. Only casualty was $30 Huawei modem which got permabanned from the network. Swapping SIMs didn't help so the most reasonable explaination is it got its IMEI blocked.

None of what you're saying was being suggested.
