I'm confused, I'm past the 3 warnings on youtube about watching with an ad blocker, but then nothing happened? I expected not to be able to watch any more videos without going through invidious?

@neauoire @vaviurka got that thing and it refused to play anything anymore. I wondered why I wasn't getting it and the difference was adding "Fanboy's Annoyance List" to uBlock origin. They'll "fix" that eventually and ultimately probably put everyones content behind a paywall, at which point people go on Peertube or some such, but grieve for all the old content being lost (and rejoice at no more shorts). So start downloading the youtubes while you can. @neauoire ublock origin team is on the top of their game rn regardless i just signed out of youtube, prevents mindless brainrot + doesn't care about adblock then — incase i do need to look at something on that godforesaken website @zvava I mostly use youtube to watch music videos, I'm not sure how much brain rot it gives me, but are you saying that being signed out works with ad blockers and only when you're signed in that you get these warnings? @neauoire i had 2 videos left to watch, turned off adblock, and when i turned it back on it blocked playback — but never got any warning in incognito windows or signed out for me i have 100+ subscriptions and years of watch history accumulated which is the bane of productivity, so it's nice to finally have a reason to ditch the platform and algorithm |
@neauoire I haven't been "warned" just yet....
