google rolling out stricter adblock rejection on youtube, removing support for proper adblocking extensions on chrome, jacking up the price of youtube premium by 20%-50%, and also playing ads when you pause a video—

why the FUCK aren’t you using a fork of/Firefox, uBlock Origin, SponsorBlock, and YouTube reVanced/YTLite+ or some 3rd party app yet?

fuck google. this isn’t even about “privacy” to me anymore. this isn’t some statement where i’m upset at “big corpo trying to get their bag”, nahdah. i just hate seeing shit i don’t wanna look at, i hate seeing that the only legitimate solution is almost as expensive as double the minimum wage and costs almost as much as dinner. i’m not paying 14$ to fix the problem you mother fuckers made. i don’t have the parasocial relationship to care if the guy i watch is getting paid either. i’ll buy their merch if i like them that much.

fuck google. block their ads.

@fluor Susan was easy for me to hate when I was 15 and drama like that was my politics. Now I realize she was just... trying to make YouTube profitable while still keeping YouTube a place where you can break the boundaries of what was and is acceptable. She was actually quite moderate with her grasp LOL.

RIP Susan, and fuck cancer

@vozercozer@wetdry.world I use this hack on the mainline youtube app, where when an ad starts playing I close the video and open it back up. Usually after the 3rd time you do it (once you trained google enough) it just accepts you won't see an ad and plays the video....

then youtube started "getting buggy" if I do that too much, and the close button on the mini player doesn't work anymore. that's usually my cue to close the app and do something else for at least half an hour.

I really should look into getting reVanced, but last time it got blocked as soon as I installed it, I don't wanna bork it for everyone else ​:neofox_blep:​
