Use Freetube
I use Firefox/Librewolf and never had any problems
I don’t see it with NewPipe either
I saw it exactly one time, and then I think my blockers got updated and I haven’t seen it since. That works for me!
Ublock origin some Anti adblock Filter and RTFM. And you’re good to go :)
Not gonna defend YouTube here, they should not have done this. HOWEVER I do care about creators on YouTube and so I actually purchased YouTube premium. It’s actually a pretty sweet deal when I consider how often I actually watch YouTube, and the fact that I actually can get a lot of use out of YouTube Music, personally. I’m not gonna say it’s a good deal for everybody, but if you actually watch any YouTube content creators regularly that you don’t contribute to via other means, it’s worth considering to avoid ads while making sure they can still get paid.
Your Youtube creators would be better helped by donating to their patreon or koffi, not greedy corporations.
Alphabet (Google and Youtube’s parent company) reported $282,836,000,000 in revenue with a gross profit of $156,633,000,000 in the 2022 fiscal year. I’m pretty sure they can afford to pay their creators what’s owed without also resorting to being shit.
The creators get a share of the ad revenue from their videos. If you block ads, you’re directly causing them to lose income.
Which is kinda a dick move.
did you read the comment you replied to?
firefox + ublock origin, you’re welcome
Using FreeTube, I don’t see.
