Watching movies on YouTube and ad-blockers

[DrivingOnThe Left]

I'm a huge fan of old movies, the more obscure the better, and I watch most of them on YT. Got a pop-up from Google this morning when I signed into my account saying that if I watched three more videos with my ad-blocker on, I would be blocked from watching any more. Now, I'm not opposed to advertising as such and realise that they have to make a living, but when I'm watching a 62-minute long British B-feature from 1960 that has had about 8 views and there are 12 breaks for ads every 4 or 5 minutes (which happened before I installed the blocker) it pisses me off. It shows no respect for the creators of the film (often cutting off in the middle of a scene) and ruins the viewing experience. Play 3 or 4 ads in a block every 20 minutes or so if you must, I'd be fine with that, but for now I'll be watching without signing in. I can live without having the ability to comment on stuff I like. Anyone else had similar messages?

1. A possible solution:

i forget the exact site, but google “youtube to mp4” and you will see a site named something like “ymp4.com”.

copy the link to the film and paste it in that site and hit enter.

it will take a few seconds and give you a download option.

download the film, watch it, then keep or delete.

2. Not identical, but I have had ads in the middle of a sentence

I do not believe this cannot be corrected. Just disrespectful of the consumer. When it happens, I stop watching.

3. I download the content and watch as free.

They want to play those games? Feel free to play back.

The easiest (of many) free web based and app tools is https://en.y2mate.is/

4. Thanks, I will give that a try

They're always badgering me to enable my search history too. Google are just too intrusive, period.

5. Your answer is not so bad.

I never sign in to any google sites
and therefore do not use G mail.
Youtube still warns me about my addblocker
but I'm able to ignore it.
