YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    Well, its not exactly YouTube trying to block adblocker, rather Google in trying to disable the use of adblockers on chromium based browsers, with the reason being YouTube revenue from ads.

    However, they announced this in late 2022 and I am not sure weather or not it actually was implemented (Firefox user).

    Here is a link to a news article I found talking about this.
