Not just youtube but I’ve run into several sites that do this

That is very true, and if I run into websites that block me cuz of my adblocker, I never go back. I don't care if they are conservative leaning websites or not, if they don't want me cuz I block their ads, then I don't need them.

In the case of Youtube, however, I'm trying to find any way possible to skirt the problems there because there is a lot of good info there despite their efforts to eliminate it all. HOWEVER, if at the end of the day, they persist in finding ways to block me cuz I got an adblocker, then the same rule will apply, I won't go back.

Rumble is a none starter with me. I'll watch videos there if a link throws me over there, but for the most part I find their website difficult to manage and it doesn't have the same type of interface that YT and Odysee have.

I am experimenting with a program called FreeTube to see how it works out.
