Welp, it begins. I've heard that pi-hole still works, but honestly, I'm not sure if I even want to watch media that is intended for a platform like this anymore. #youtube #adblock

I have a YouTube Premium subscription, yet I received a message stating that Ad Blockers are not allowed on YouTube. WTF? What am I supposed to do now? I don't watch much YouTube, but I have a low-cost bundle with YouTube Music, which I use the most.

swordgeek,

@nixCraft The honest answer is to pack up and leave Youtube entirely - cancel your subscription and move to something like Tidal.

Bugs or not, mistakes or not, Google is making it clear that they won't allow us mortals to use their precious service without getting ads shoved down our throats. There's only one way to convince them otherwise, and that's to hurt their bottom line.

This is the latest "innovation". with a market cap of $1.7 trillion and $120 billion cash on hand, "needs" to charge for ads on YouTube.

This is, of course, not true. They have more than enough revenue to run YouTube without ads in perpetuity, but they want to please shareholders. The community is showing how you can distribute the costs of hosting content as well. If you don't support Google's continued monetization of monopolized video...vote with your feet.

@tilvids @ChrisWere The day they enforced this block was the day I installed a browser extension to redirect to a Invidious instance. 🙃

Been getting #YouTube #adblock nag popups? Yeah, you can block those too.

Method 2 of this page works, at least for now.

To protect your privacy and shield yourself against 0-days and malicious advertisers, an adblocker is an important part of your security stance.

The FBI, NSA, CISA, and UK National Cyber Security Centre all recommend adblocking as a protective measure.

You'd never disable your firewall or antivirus because a site asked you to. NEVER DO THIS WITH YOUR ADBLOCKER.

That's the only pertinent point here. Everything else is noise.

Feels like a great time to recommend Newpipe for Android.

Youtube without the hassle of adverts. Extended Privacy. Useful extra features like background playback, and more.

Find it on the FDroid app store.

swordgeek, to Youtube

Online ads are essentially unregulated. They mislead, misdirect, and lie They sell counterfeit drugs, advertise fake apps and cover your screen. They consume bandwidth (that you pay for), and can be a delivery agent for malware. They track your behaviour and invade your privacy to sell you stuff you don't need or want. Worse, they often do it by making you feel bad about yourself.

  • Ad blockers are I.T. security

  • Ad blockers are self-care

FunFact™: The #YouTube anti-#AdBlock popup doesn't seem to appear if you aren't logged in.

Like, say, if you open a link in a Private Window.

MacOS users can also investigate the IINA media player and "Open in IINA" browser extension.

Vanilla OS 2 -- Alpha build 80 -- Has been released.

Sadly, this build has the same issue as previous builds. After install, you cannot boot. Some people report a successful boot if you use legacy boot.

But as it stands, EFI/UEFI and even a Virtual Machine, fails.

The odd thing is Vanilla OS 2's Alpha page (webpage) will not load with uBlock and Privacy Badger.

That's the 1st time I have witnessed a Linux distribution's website to dislike an ad-blocker. 🤔

In der Pi-hole Installationsanleitung habe ich noch folgende Punkte ergänzt:

Uh oh....

I just had an ad on youtube manage to sneak past both noscript AND ublock origin, looks like they're testing out some new methods to bypass ad-blockers....thankfully about half the channels I follow now also post on other sites but I really wish others would follow, if made to pick between watching ads and not watching any of the content I'll choose to just not watch anything any time.
