YouTube is testing a new change that could lead people to being stopped from watching videos. The site will limit the amount of videos people are able to watch if they are using an ad blocker, as part of a new test. Those affected will be told to remove their ad blocker or purchase a subscription to YouTube Premium if they want to keep watching videos. If they don’t, they will find themselves cut off after watching three videos on the site. It comes with a warning that tells users “video player will be blocked after three videos”. It warns users that they have been automatically detected as maybe using an ad blocker, and that “video playback will be blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled”. Users are told that ads are required for YouTube to remain free, or that they can purchase a subscription to YouTube Premium and watch without that advertising. Other messages, posted to Reddit, show users being told that using ad blockers are in violation of the site’s terms of service. The company said that users will receive reported warnings before their playback stops, and that there will be an option for users to report situations where they feel they have been falsely accused of using an ad blocker. YouTube said in a statement that the new features were being tested in a “small experiment globally that urges viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium”. The site has been making a range of changes intended to show users more ads – or encourage them to sign up for the paid-for service, where advertising is hidden. Updates have seen users shown an increasing number of ads as well as longer ones, before videos will play, and YouTube has even tested putting other features behind its subscription plan, such as 4K quality videos. YouTube Premium costs $11.99 or £11.99 each month. It not only removes ads from the service but also adds other features, such as offline downloads and access to YouTube Music Premium.

Snapchat users say they were left terrified after the app’s artificial intelligence system posted a “scary” image of its own. The “My AI” tool is built into Snapchat and works as a chatbot: users can talk to it like they would a real person. It will not only recommend Snapchat features but also converse with people. Overnight, however, Snapchat users found that their AI friend had posted an image to its story. That came as a surprise since it was not clear the system was even able to do so. Users then found themselves concerned by the picture itself. It showed two interlocking colours – in such a way that led many to speculate that it was a picture of a wall and a ceiling. On Twitter, some users even said they became panicked because of fears that the picture depicted their own wall. But the picture appears to have been the same for all Snapchat users, and it is unclear what it actually shows. Very soon after the picture was posted, it was removed again. And Snapchat’s My AI then went offline, with users who tried to talk to it receiving an error messaging indicating that it was experiencing a “technical issue”. Some time after, My AI came back online, though the post remained deleted. Users were then able to ask the system what had happened – and in response to one, it said that the post was a “fun way to mix things up” and then apologised if it had “caused any concern”. In another conversation, My AI said that the post was a “spooky ghost prank” that was “hilarious and gave us quite a scare”. It then appeared to suggest that it needed help. But both the explanation and the other suspect messages that came from My AI are likely a result of the artificial intelligence system inventing stories in response to questions, rather than giving factual information about what had actually happened. Large language models such as those used in My AI are very good at giving convincing answers in response to questions – but often that information is not actually factually accurate. Snapchat confirmed in a statement that it had experienced technical issues. “My AI experienced a temporary outage that’s now resolved,” a spokesperson told The Independent. But it did not address the unusual picture that had been posted just before that temporary outage began.
