I have yet to see this running ublock origin on firefox
Same. And the instant I do I will stop using youtube.
YouTube has gotten nice guy aggressive with fucking ads, especially on here … Instead of the video you see instant ad. I will not watch the ad so I click back and instead of taking me back to my app YouTube shrinks the ad then keeps it there I have to press back another two times to get the fuck away from YouTube so I can copy the link and open it in Firefox with ublock origin. I love new pipe.
Purge cache and update Ublock Origin
*uBlock Origin
Note: There’s a fake one called uBlock out there, so it’s best to point people to uBlock Origin or simply uBO as it’s abbreviated.
And sponsorblock for the in-video ads
I personally am ok with sponsors. They directly support the creators, and are easy enough to skip. Much better than unskippable targeted ads to “support” a multi-billion-dollar company…
Pretty sure they still do get paid since it’s based on views, SponsorBlock is just an Auto-skipping tool it’s not any different than scrubbing the bar manually to bypass it, though by being automated it is pretty seamless most of the time.
It is being tested on select viewers before rollout.

I have yet to see one of those messages. Proud uBlock user.
Lol, I’ve seen that but still just use the adblocker and it plays as normal.
I think it’s meant to scare non tech savvy people. I don’t see how they can stop us using adblockers…
Im honestly considering getting a flip phone at this point it’s kind of ridiculous.
I like New pipe. Hopefully doesn’t affect it.
Fuck em. I’ll just stop watching if it comes down to it. Hell, even without an alternative.
I’m with the group that refuses to ever watch YT ads, but I guess it does help reduce bandwidth if they kick everyone off that’s using an adblocker.
Oh my, the creators get paid?!?

Oh… So no, not really…
Sounds like they’re lying to me!
The ads make Youtube unwatchable so if necessary I’ll figure out how to sideload Piped onto the house TV, or, failing that, just plug my laptop in and watch shit through Piped.
I already pay for it and will continue to do so. I have no issues spending money for a product I enjoy.
If this has the same effect as reddit/lemmy… wow peer tube is about to get so good
Could disabling Javascript get rid of this message? Javascript I think assists video playback, so maybe not.
They were able to build a business and be profitable for over a decade but now all of the sudden ad block is destroying YouTube? 🤔
I have YouTube ReVanced on my phone. If YouTube ever defeats uBlock Origin on my desktop, I just won’t watch YouTube on desktop anymore. I refuse to watch or view ads.
