No, we had a nice middle ground for a very long time. I could use ad blockers to block most bullshit across the internet, but YT would still play an ad before a video. I might have to wait 5 seconds to skip an ad before it's finished, and maybe after doing that a couple of times, it would force me to watch a 15-second ad in full before playing the video. Hell, do that enough and you'll have to sit there for 30 seconds next time. I could live with that. I tolerated it, happily. Right up until last week when YouTube rolled this shit out to me and said, "Nope, fuck your adblocker," and decided to show me nothing entirely. I met them halfway, I put up with a hybrid approach for years, and they still, in spite of posting net profit, decided that wasn't enough. Nope, fuck that, I'm out - Invidious it is.
