Youtube is at it again
4/2/2024 | Me

Posted on 04/02/2024 11:24:12 AM PDT by ducttape45

Has anyone else noticed that Youtube is at it again, trying to block users who use an adblocker? The past several days have been hit and miss. About the only way I've been able to get around it is one of two ways:

1. to save videos to Watch Later, close the browser, then reopen the browser to view them, or

2. delete all cookies and cache and then log back in.

But either of these two fixes are temporary because it happens almost every day now. Has anyone seen this, and have a newer fix for this?

Thanks.

True, but you can fast-forward through them.

Can’t do that with ads.

I LOVE PCMatic. Made here in America, a great antivirus that uses a whitelist system to keep more sites out. Just $50 per year or $150 for the Evergreen.

They used to advertise heavily. Now I see their ads occasionally.

What version do you use, the $50 or $150?

I use a laptop with 2nd (LARGER) monitor at home.

The nag screen to buy MWB appears only on my laptop screen and I hardly ever notice it.

Regardless, I’d tolerate repeatedly closing the small window for the agreeable side effect (ZERO YT ads).

#70 I believe all the web browsers use the same software for the add-ons. It made it easier for the developers. Hope uBlock Orgin keeps on working.

I have the evergreen. Never needs to be renewed.

I have not figured it out. TicToc is a better option. Need to get it out of the hands of the ChiComs.

I just found out the uBlock Origin has shut down. I also read where Google will disable uBO in their web browser this year.

Has anyone seen this?

I just found out that uBlock Origin has shut down operations, and that Google will disable the extension. Bad news for everyone who uses uBO.

I hear ya. I’m about ready to stop visiting YouTube if we can no longer block the ads.

That is bad news. Gotta go to plan B, C, or D now I guess.

Won’t pay the ransom.

That’s also the reason I’ll never donate using SuperChat. Google tales a huge cut.

My solution: I have sworn that I will never buy anything I’ve ever seen advertised on YouTube.

So far it’s been amazingly easy for me to keep that promise.
