So there's an opportunity for anyone looking to get a chunk of Youtube's market share, in other words. ๐Ÿค”

Peertube is eagerly awaiting a proper community.

So apparently there are two phases: first, a pop-up that tells you addblocker is forbidden. But if you go long enough without caring, the the message is out instead of the video.

It is based on the account. So if you open the video in another account, it works, and it also work in a private tab (I need to double check for this one).

Why am I not having any issues blocking ads in YouTube? I use uBlock Origin and Firefox.

I'm using the Piped YT frontend on Firefox with uBlock and I've not once seen any add pop up. I don't have a Google account but I added a bunch of rss-feeds to my Thunderbird, so I get a message when my favorite creators make a video. This way I'm not bothered by any stupid Google algorithm. Goes to show, YT is best consumed without an account.

Oddly enough YouTube only seems to be ramping up its antiadbpocker campaign on their desktop version. The mobile version of the site works fine without ads.

After purging cache it's working for me again.

libreDIRECT firefox extension and then set piped instance to piped.video , it's pret nice

any youtube link or click you do will go to the piped.video "version" instead.

I've exported my subscriptions and imported them in FreeTube. Seems to work even better since it doesn't try to hide videos in my subscription list.

I think it's weird that I haven't ran into these ads yet

Libredirect pointing to invidious/piped. Just go.
