I give it a year, tops, before they start serving ads in premium too.

It really isnt getting harder to dodge past the initial recent push. "Go to settings, purge cache, refresh list, refresh youtube" is just as many steps today as it was when this recent push started

Fuck YouTube

It wouldn't shock me if they removed ublock origin from the chrome store

So they are cracking down on Adblockers and increasing the price of Premium as well.

I wish there was an alt platform that we could use, because even the FBI recommends using an Adblockers (and TBH what sane person would roll without one?)

Switched to Freetube and convinced my dad too as well. No ads, no algorithms, no shit yt search that never works. We're chilling.

Probably jinxing myself here, but I have yet to have a single problem. Linux, Firefox, ublock origin.

Are ads really that useful when the users subjected to them hate ads from the start?

μBlock Origin works for me still (Firefox), but I had to remove my custom filter to remove Shorts from the Subscription page - seems like they can detect it if I have any YT-specific rules.

I've got FreeTube set up as a backup in case μBlock does ever fail - but its lack of tabs really make me not want to use it as my primary access yet. I think they could benefit a lot from creating a browser-based UI, kind of like what Plex has.

Freetube for the win. Built in sponsor block.

Stop using butt adblockers. There's a reason why UBO has the highest amount of downloads, is a recommended extension, and is the highest rated extension on both chromium and firefox.

I’ve just installed Yattee for IOS. It works great. There was a post for this a day ago? Also for other platforms. Fuck YouTube.
