YouTube Offers Arcade Games To Premium Subscribers
YouTube Premium not only eliminates advertisements but also introduces a new feature called Playables, allowing users to engage in arcade games. This unique section within the YouTube app or desktop site permits Premium subscribers to receive notifications, prompting them to activate Playables through settings.
Upon enabling the Playables tab, users can access 37 games, including Angry Birds Showdown, without the need for any downloads—these games seamlessly operate on both the desktop browser and YouTube mobile app.

This approach draws parallels with Netflix’s strategy, yet its success remains uncertain. Interestingly, YouTube itself expresses uncertainty, indicating that the Playables feature will be accessible until March 28, 2024, with a decision on its continuation likely thereafter. The fate of Playables hinges on user reception up to March 2024.
This development follows YouTube’s recent crackdown on ad blockers globally, compelling users to disable their ad blockers. However, some users opted for alternative solutions that bypassed YouTube’s ad block measures. There were also speculations about Google penalizing ad-block users by deliberately slowing down loading times on specific browsers, as highlighted by a Reddit user’s video demonstrating prolonged loading times for every video, despite ruling out browser issues.
