YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

Eh, I dunno if I'd say they're "losing".

I've certainly noticed disruptions on every platform except GrayJay. LibreTube stopped working for several months for me.

Certainly these interruptions could be enough for some users to abandon them.

NewPipe/PipePipe and Freetube were affected for half a day max, these guys are super fast with the updates.
