youtube getting more aggressive… i’ve got firefox and ublock but this shit is still coming up
Fuck YouTube
My freetube is working just fine. I wonder what would happen to invidious.
Insidious works fine, no change, I just installed it yesterday. Only downside is the max 1080p quality.
They’re maybe letting it slide bcs not too many people use it
For those on Android, workaround might be Rossman’s new app (the guy fixing Apple PCs). Promise seem kinda alternative NewPipe app but with platforms (e.g.YouTubes) algoritms, following creators across different platform and possibility to log in to your accounts.
It has opensource plugins capabilities so if it gets popular it might keep growing and living from comunity support as well.
I’m not affiliated with that. I’m also yet the app. This is not add. AFAIK app is not monetized at this point.
The app is supposed to be something like 10$, no subscription. Not sure if it’s paid atm.
Are you sure ? Because I could swear it has been announced as free . I have feeling there’s even opensorce code available.
It is open source, but Louis said that albeit it is open source, the app is 10$ or something like that, but you are free to pirate it and he won’t be stopping you.
Or, rather, the “premium” features. No idea what are those tho.
This is his approach to IP broadly speaking, I believe.
Edit for clarity:
If you can’t effectively try something without paying, pirate it and pay if you want to and can support it.
It’s a goodwill model.
Me neither but basic fueatures are already better in idea than YouTube app
It is just an ask from the community. The app is free, you can use all the features free forever.
That being said, it is always ethical and a good choice to pay for the services you use, get value from.
I’d happily pay for YouTube if they hadn’t done bullshit free shenanigans to kill their competition while expanding their reach.
I’ll never pay for YouTube now.
On Android it’s simple, patched with YouTube ReVanced Manager
I understand but app allows you to move from YouTube entirely if your fav content created release videos else where and in the future to support creators directly.
Currently with Firefox uBlock and am getting no pop-ups for three days now (this after pop-up nags with a five-second delay).
Not saying you are not having trouble, but I think this is a fight YouTube is going to lose.
I think they are A/B testing to see how people react. I have gotten pop-ups and my coworker wasn’t getting them while having the same IP address. I haven’t gotten the “x videos left” popup yet. I think it’d be pretty easy for youtube to make ad blocking very hard; they’re just testing the waters right now.
I’m unable to watch any video despite uBlock instructions thing.
Purge YouTube cookies and site data, log in again and see if it works
It doesn’t work.
Ah shit. That was my last fix that worked after disabling every add-on except stock uBlock.
I was in your same position until I realized updating ublock and updating the filter list arw two different tasks. The filter lists are in ublock settings and after updating those I’ve had no problems
I had this too, only thing that worked was clearing cookies and site data of YouTube, then logging in again. Another browser on the same account with the same uBlock settings worked the whole time, so I guess it’s “device” bound not account bound. Since the cookie purge I don’t even get the AdBlock warnings anymore.
Vimeo wringing their hands thinking this is their chance.
Vimeo literally charges money from creators per video and per TB of bandwidth to host their video.
YouTube hosts for free, and actually pays creators money, to the point where many people have made their careers.
Nobody is switching from YouTube to Vimeo.
I know, the joke is nobody’s switching and Vimeo can’t win.
Vimeo seems to have a different demographic in mind.
Not only demographic but a whole different model that very few companies use unless their content breaks YT guidelines. That’s the punchline.
For now I didn’t see anything on Firefox and Librewolf, but who knows how long that can go on. I guess I have to just wait and see.
…and get used to Invidious in the meanwhile.
This should work for Librewolf too shouldn’t it?
I just got blocked by YouTube on LibreWolf today but not Firefox. The ad blocking related extensions I have are uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and Malwarebytes. After 15 minutes of resetting uBlock Origin settings, I’ve decided to try turning them off one by one, I found that it was Malwarebytes that triggered it. Even when I whitelisted Youtube but it didn’t work, I have to disable the extension to fix it. It looks like it isn’t YouTube don’t want you using adblocks, it’s YouTube don’t want you to block scams and malwares.
Please resume watching…Please resume watching…Please resume watching…
The EU stepped in, they have to remove it in Europe. Not sure about America though…
Can you provide a source?
Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user’s terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.
In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
VPN go brr?
This pop up, did more to curb my youtube addiction than any other app.
I didn’t get any of this. I’m using chrome
Brave luckily do not have those problems. Edit: to be more precise, yesterday this appeared, and then recordings stopped, but only with a refreshing returned to normal, today this did not appear and the recordings work normaly.
That too. There’s. New dystopian Rayman universe show on Netflix rn.
