Guess I'm taking another week off YouTube until someone sorts out a workaround.
I still don't know how people manage to watch it on a TV app with 2 unskippable 2 min ads before every 5 min video.
- that_guy_iain 3y agoThey've already created a workaround. Last night it was blocking me, this morning I was fine. It was mitigated within hours.
- hutzlibu 3y agoSame for me, but it might also be youtube, that is giving us more time.
- that_guy_iain 3y agoSeems pointless to block all videos and then remove that block for no real reason.
- hutzlibu 3y agoSame reason they did not block us yet - better to have some users that block ads, than have those users on other plattforms. Now too many people used ad blockers - so step by step they want to "encourage" people to look at ads again or pay for premium. But too strictly enforcing it from day one - would probably mean too many people going away. But giving more time and nagging, more might enlist for premium. (I won't, I seldom use youtube)
- scruple 3y agoLibreWolf is still working just fine, as far as I can tell.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 3y agoThe workaround I use is called "Don't use a TV app", or any other software written by an advertising company. Watch less YouTube, never send behavioural data to an advertising company and never send HTTP requests for ads (youtube.com), only send HTTP requests for video (googlevideo.com).
