A week ago YouTube forced me to disable an adblock extension on one of my PCs.

And you know what? Experiencing YouTuve with advertising is the best. It completely breaks my mood interrupting a video I’m watching and I often end up just closing the video and going to do something else like coding or doing something useful at home.

So, I’m here recommending disabling your ad blocker if you are prone to procrastinating like me:)

I use Firefox on Linux Mint, none of this happens and if it does you fix it by copy pasting a code on the settings of ublock
