I have my adblock on for targeted ads. I believe the lengths that these companies go through to profile you to serve you ads are terribly invasive. Even if you pay for YT Premium, the tracking does not stop: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/111257004092595145 https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/111257004092595145 My adblocker is off for DuckDuckGo. DDG does not track my activity across websites. I'm one of the few suckers here paying for YT Premium. This is what I got rewarded with for being a paying customer: https://mastodon.social/@lazycouchpotato/111347456188566575 https://mastodon.social/@lazycouchpotato/111347456188566575 Precious screen real estate ruined with Shorts. They've set themselves into this monopoly position leaving you nowhere else to go, and are dead set on making the experience as terrible as possible to extract every little bit of "engagement" out of you. I don't sympathize with Google for users wanting to use an ad blocker on YT. I'd gladly support YT if any other half-decent company owned it.
