TECH - YouTube Videos Reportedly Skipping To The End For Ad Block Users: Bug Or Strategy? | Benzinga
Some Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) YouTube users who have ad blockers installed are experiencing an unusual phenomenon.
What Happened: Users with ad blockers are noticing that their YouTube videos are skipping to the end, even when replayed. Some users also report that trying to skip to a specific part of the video results in endless loading.
This behavior only occurs when the ad blocker is enabled, and everything works normally when it is disabled.
