The best business card I’ve ever seen was by a guy at the local brick company. It was a business-card sized brick with the usually business card stuff engraved into it. You can’t put it in your wallet but every construction guy had it as a paperweight or knickknack on their desk so it was more visible that way anyway. Probably got them a shitload of extra orders with those cute little bricks.

If your business card in 2023 can't be used to shim a lock or cut a ziptie what good is it?

Bottle opener. I've used one for some law firm from a careers fair I didn't go to since 2004, seeing as it's just a chunk of flat metal it does probably double as an improvised weapon.

This will remove the warning, but it will not change the fact that they detected the ad blocker and will likely cut you off at some point.

I did get the adblock warning on Vivaldi, after a few days' adless youtube viewing. Went back to Firefox with Ublock Origin, cache cleared and lists updated, and it's okay again.

It's weird how they roll these things out. I started getting adblock warnings on my desktop PC, but have yet to see one on my laptop. Same browser, addons, Windows version, VPN...

I wouldn't put too much stock in receiving the messages themselves, google loves doing a/b testing of different systems in prod, so I wouldn't put it past them at all to internally count an adblocker hit but not inform the user this time. Cat and mouse games against the adblock-blocker-blockers by not giving them complete information on how well they're evading detection.

If you're using adblockers with youtube on desktop, your best bet is to have multiple different programs installed and kept up to date and just swap between whichever is working at the moment. Also if you're logged in, don't use your main google account in case they take action against flagged accounts in the future

This is not for everyone but I just have all my Youtube channels I follow in an RSS reader (Feedly) and then have JDownloader downoad them all and I never have even have to go to the site and I can watch videos in VLC.

Like I said, this might just be for crazy people like myself.

See this Ublock Origin reddit mega post for all your Youtube adblocking needs.

A lot of people watch more Youtube than movies or TV.
