Lots of people proThey try to use various ad blockers that can at least mitigate the load a little or eliminate it completely. But Google doesn't like that, of course. probecause he's losing revenue.

According to them, the message suddenly appears on the videos in question "Comments are off". Which can happen, but if they've been there for months or years, it's very suspicious. Plus, many people suddenly can't even see video descriptions.
