If they're literally disabling people's accounts from being able to watch videos, then welp. But not even Google is that stupid. E: don't use Brave, it sucks and is a cryptocoin Ponzi scheme.

I've been literally using my logged in google acct since this whole thing started with zero issues with FF and ublock. So far, at least, and I've watched 3-4 vids this AM.

Its going to get worse. Once your account is flagged there is not much that can be done. here is a reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/14kmd07/youtube_cracking_down_on_if_youre_not_paying_them/?rdt=37336 redeyes fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Oct 22, 2023 |

If you guys haven't already, you should export a .csv list of your YouTube subscriptions just in case, which can also be used for if you switch to a third-party YouTube client (many allow importing of that .csv file so you can have all your subscriptions) or get a new YT account. Google changed the way you do it (it used to be easy to do right from YT, but now requires a few more steps)
Depending on how many subscriptions you have, you may be then presented with a "Download" button, otherwise you'll be told that it may take a while to process, and then you'll be sent an email letting you know when the .zip file containing the info you requested is ready for download.

Thanks for that info. I still have no problem with FF (seems like chromium based are the worst?) but if they did, what's to stop watching in incognito mode with no account logged in? I really don't care if I have no watch history of vids. I don't use my google accounts for anything else other than throw-away emails. It's nice, but not a huge deal. slidebite fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Oct 22, 2023 |

It does work it's just that YouTube updates their AdBlock detection multiple times a day. You might be accessing YouTube during the brief times your AdBlock hasn't updated to match YouTube's detection.

I understand that the LTT staff might be lazy, but I'm pretty sure that they aren't *that* lazy. Plus they don't have Tim on the testing lab anymore so the results might be actually good. I do feel like that they might be out of the benching videos for at least until next year it seems though.

I’ve been getting the YouTube pop up about blockers but once I close it the video plays fine without ads. This is on Edge with ublock origin. Should I just get premium from Argentina or whatever?

priznat posted:I’ve been getting the YouTube pop up about blockers but once I close it the video plays fine without ads. This is on Edge with ublock origin. It's very weird right now. I was getting that as well, with the countdown timer. Then it went away for about a week. Then came back, but changed to "You Can Watch 3 More Videos". That cut off the stream, but updating the daily build of uBlock Origin and refreshing the filters would get rid of it. Then about a week ago it just stopped bringing up any windows and Youtube has been fine. So either uBlock is on the ball and clapping Youtubes cheeks before they can cause any issues, or Youtube just gave up.

Aware posted:I wonder if anyone is encoding data into YouTube videos as a weird file storage and distribution mechanism This is a cool technique but if anyone is seriously looking for infinite file storage it already exists with newsgroups. I suppose the main difference is you have to pay for usenet access whereas a YouTube account is free, but encrypting a file and uploading it couldn't be easier. Create an nzb for it and you can redownload the file 15 years later.

It's much much harder to do at youtube scale, and with videos that aren't live streaming. Note that twitch doesn't try the same thing for recorded vids. If you embed the ads into the video so that they're indistinguishable from the source, what stops someone from skipping forward 1 minute? b. "Twitch ads are unblockable" is a myth. You may not be able to see the stream while waiting out the blocked ad, but you can block it.

tracecomplete posted:What makes you say it’s harder to do injection into VOD HLS than livestreamed, or (noticeably) more difficult at YT scale? It's computationally harder to splice ads into the HSL (or DASH) stream than it is to just serve the ads and then the video like youtube does now. Not very hard, but at youtube scale even a small amount of computation matters. Twitch serves 20 billion hours of video in a year, youtube does 1 billion a day. (Meanwhile twitch is already set up for a much higher amount of computation per user. Also twitch isn't profitable lol.) It's harder to make the ads unblockable when it's not a livestream. tracecomplete posted:Not if the segments move on a regular basis. SponsorBlock depends on standard timestamps. Random ad segments anywhere in the video is a loving unwatchable experience.

On Firefox, once I disabled the Enhancer for YouTube extension, uBlock worked to disable ads and the ad-block-block again. I'm glad their ad-block-block-blocking technology is good

Ads are part of the streamers video stream, and pretty much hijack your video. AFAIK it all comes from the same place, so I don't see how you could get around the ads. Are you sure you don't have Twitch Turbo, or are subbed to the people you watch? Both would get around the ads being shown. Twitch got really bad with ads for a while (as in, the same ad multiple times per ad block), and my partner just got Turbo, which eliminates all ads for all streams regardless of sub status.

I had every Twitch ad-blocker under the sun, and about a month ago Twitch finally seemed to have gotten around all of them. I disabled them all, and now I'm just running uBlock Origin, and zero Twitch ads lately. Not sure if uBlock has figured out some amazing new script to block Twitch ads, but I ain't complaining.

Yeah, I'm sure, and if I just play it on my phone/tablet, I get the ads, but as soon as I start casting, they just don't appear. It's been that way for as long as I've had it, so 3+ years. Youtube still gets ads , probably because it's a Google product, so they made sure it works.

Some good Goon suggested the Alternate Viewer for Twitch extension for Firefox to me last week, the ads were driving me nuts. I never log into Twitch so i don't know if there is any downside to it these days but other that a delay when it blocks the ads i'm very happy with the result.

For mobile I had been using Blokada which had worked for a couple years at blocking video ads on the official Twitch app (Amazon side panel ads would occasionally show up) but it seems like video ads are finally getting through. On desktop I had been using TTV LOL Pro for a while, but it started constantly stuttering for me about two months ago and I switched to Twitch Adblock Plus which has worked for me since. As for YouTube, just uBlock Origin and I haven't seen any of the ad-block warnings yet.

Seconding never using uBlock and NoScript and never seeing anything blocking my poo poo. Then again I'm never signed into my account via browser, and only signed on that way on my phone via the app where I can't help but be bombarded by unskippable ads all the loving time. Plus I have my browser delete everything related to my browsing history after I close it. Firefox user.

I tried Adguard Extra (beta) that was linked in a post above and it does indeed successfully block twitch ads. Your video does freeze for about 3 seconds every time twitch tries to play an ad, but it’s better than sitting through a minute and a half of crap that’s for sure.
