It's funny how those things were everywhere for a week and then they just disappeared unless you used something poo poo like adblock plus. I had to do a fresh chrome install on the shop computer and someone else who uses YouTube music for work must have installed adb+ on it BC I got it looking up tutorials for our POS software

Youtube premium just doubled the cost of their family plan at end of April. Holy crap that's a big jump.

Do Piholes work at blocking all the bullshit on YT?

Because gently caress me that's excessive.

Nah piholes won't work for YT ads because they serve ads from from the same domain and do all sorts of streaming content insertion poo poo. Still a good idea to have a pihole anyways for other poo poo

It won't skip ads but if you mostly watch YT on desktop then make sure you have SponsorBlock instead at least, alongside uBlock Origin (at least until the Chromium update coming out in a few months that bricks uBlock Origin and other adblockers, will need to switch browser then. Vivaldi is a Chromium browser that's already said they're going to maintain the old adblocking tech at least)

Firefox and UBlock Origin, you won't even see their pissbaby "Stop using Adblockers you fucks!" popup.

Have used ublock and Firefox for years, thought that was on the hit list when Google did their 'adblockers hurt our billions of profit dollars'. Or did they end up losing that?

Was also mainly for kids who use the app on their tablets, phones and TV which I REALLY don't want to have multiple ads bullshit for them just to watch a 10 minute video.

I've developed a visceral hatred of the advertising tsunami the net has become.

They've tightened the screws a bit. I use ublock on Ungoogled Chromium and there was short time a few months ago where I had to force update the blocklists and close and reopen the YouTube tab. Haven't needed to do that for while though. I think they also might be throttling adblock users but it's hard to tell.

Is ABP poo poo? I've used it for years on chrome and the only ads I ever see are here. There was about a week it blocked the youtube ads but the time still played out, otherwise no issues ever.

Oof this hits home. Did a surfing lesson today and managed to roll my ankle towards the end. It felt fine enough to finish the session, trek back up the beach, have a shower then wander round the shops...and now I can't put any weight on my foot and it loving canes. Was supposed to be having dinner at the surf club tonight too but it's got a thousand stairs and I refuse to be that person riding the old lady chair up

I don't think they 'lost', I think the plan all along was to spend a few months hassling adblock users into either paying for premium or watching ads.

Beyond that it would turn into an arms race between Google's devs and open source adblockers where a bunch of people are basically donating their time; at some point the money they're putting into defeating adblockers isn't going to result in any new subscribers so they might as well focus on something else.

I think ABP lets through certain ads if the advertiser pays them, so you get rid of some of the more obnoxious stuff but you'll still get some.

Navigating through something like that there should be a couple of pilots who know the waterway and a pair of tugs. I can only assume everyone involved was drunk
