Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) YouTube is cracking down on ad-blockers with a new policy experiment. 

What Happened: A Reddit user shared a screenshot of a pop–up messaging on the platform stating, “Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube,” prompting the user to click on a button to “Allow YouTube Ads” or “Try YouTube Premium.”
