Anybody getting hit with this new video skipping bullshit? I thought they’d thrown in the towel on this TBH, hadn’t heard any updates on the three-strikes thing or anything else in a while

They'll never throw in the towel. They'll be forever trying to keep up just enough annoying bullshit so the benefit of people convinced to pay for premium marginally outweighs the cost of people who give up on YouTube altogether

Hopefully it distracts them from doing more serious evils.

if you use an adblocker they add a subliminal audio track that causes femboy sissification

I love how Youtube's anti-adblock measures increasingly just looks like their platform works like poo poo. The average user can't tell it's because they're using an adblocker and it's a deliberate malicious measure. To them it just works badly.

The average user isn’t using an ad blocker. The overwhelming amount of viewers are on the app. The person with a desktop blocker is highly likely to be aware of the bullshit at this point.

Is there any way to tell what percentage of viewers is using an adblocker? I’d be curious to see the spread.

Ublock Origin still blocks ads and doesn't skip to the end

About 30% of people block ads and the percentage who do the legwork to block them on mobile devices is much smaller. Maybe we should take out ads teaching people how to use adblockers.

I use UBO on my computer, but the app is simply too convenient and blocking on my phone sounds daunting, so when I use my phone, I just tolerate the ads.

It looks like a lot, but its really not and will only take you a couple of minutes. https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/xlcny9/revanced_manager_guide_for_dummies/

I once looked into revanced but it was indeed daunting. I like Newpipe for my ad-free YouTubing. The only complex thing about it is you can't just grab it off the Play store, you have to first get F Droid which is like its own Play store. But getting the APK for that is a piece of piss.

Blocking ads on your phone isn't bery hard, just use Firefox and ublock origin just like on PC, and it works on iPhone and Android now too.

Firefox Android supports uBlock, there's even an extension called Video Background Play Fix that will let you keep YouTube audio going with the phone screen locked. The only inconvenient bit is that you do have to manually switch on the request desktop version setting for YouTube every time.

Don't forget to change your dns to dns.adguard.com to knock out in app ads. Between those two steps and newpipe, your phone should become a lot more pleasant to use.

Not surprised to see the thread bumped, Smart Tube Next has been kinda stuttery today, had a fair few delays and pauses. Still, it was mostly this morning, it's okay at the moment and still no ads playing so get hosed Google, etc.
