It was getting slower and slower to load videos. Now won't load any with adblock on.

But fuck them, Brave browser is working like a champ. Still undefeated.

That's what I started getting before it finally wouldn't play videos at all. It's not too bad using Brave for youtube only.

ublock Chrome still works fine for me. Theres been a couple of times it tried to load an ad at the beginning of a video, and showed a white screen, but I just had to refresh. Its infrequent enough that it hasnt been an issue

That's probably how they did it. Time to see if they can defeat them all.

The main issue with youtube videos now is most videos will have some sort of sponsored segment, to get around the fact that most users have some sort of ad block.

Not only do you have to watch youtube approved ads, you have the content creator shilling Raid Shadow Legends or whatever on top of it. It's like having ads on top of your ads. Pretty much don't want to watch anything anymore.

YouTube is really trying their damnedest lately to take out adblockers. They're successful in taking out my AdBlock on Chrome. I'll try a different AdBlock suggested on here on a different browser, but I feel like it's going to be a matter of time before they start coming after those as well. Then we'll have to find another AdBlock and or browser solution.

I think Brave is also the one I saw someone sounding off on Reddit about it stealth installing a VPN too.

Exactly. Websites aren't a product anymore. They're a vector to shove advertising at people. The view numbers are the product. Or more simply: Us.

And anyone who doubts me, I suggest you try using this site without an adblocker. Or any Fandom site.

You pay more for your Premium chair than subscribers to Disney+, Prime Video, or Apple TV.

So you can watch Sniperwolf and that fat guy thus board is obsessed with without seeing ads. Oh, and let's not forget the revolutionary 'listening to low res music with the window minimised'

It's terribly overpriced.

Oh no! What shall I do when I can't watch old music videos and movie clips without ads?

I'll be fine until then. And afterwards.

Id pay 2 dollars a month for youtube premium. Asking basically the same price of netflix. For what exactly? No ads? Complete and utter ripoff. Even if I spent hours on it a day.

I don't use any of those streaming services, yet I use YouTube a ton. So it is worth it for me.

I'll never pay just to have ads removed on youtube. It should have a big movie selection and original content like Netflix, MAX, etc. for that price. Premium isn't worth any more than $5 and I wouldn't even give them that.

What a cheap and lazy way to get rich. Youtube doesn't have to do shit but sit back while people upload videos for free, then charges to remove ads from content they didn't even create. lol

Wait until YouTube Premium rolls out ads like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are already doing.

Don't forget "while barely paying the creators anything at all for the profits they've generated from the ads on the videos."

I use Nicovideo, a Japanese video streaming site, and I have a Premium account for all its wings like a wing to upload 3D works for downloads. It's around $5 a month.

And that comment about paying 2 dollars for Youtube premium. So, you're bypassing the US price and exploiting countries like Argentina with its worst economy. That's actually worse than using adblock. Fucking over a country's economy for pointless extras is far worse than adblockers.

Yeah cause ublock is actively fighting it. On chromium there will soon be no hope due to the platform difference
