Ah, even more reason for me to use less Youtube.

Been substituting it with Nebula, Odysee, and just watching less video content.

@BombOmOm @furycd001
I am sort of in a content slump right now. The YouTube adblocker blocker has me watching much less and noticing the content actually kinda sucks.

Most news sites are either paywalled or adblocked blocked or so stuffed with ads it's unreadable.

Even my library app doesn't have books newer than like 2019.

This DRM shit totally sucks.

What ad blocker are you using? I’m using ublock origin and I still haven’t seen the ad blocker blocker thing on anything.

@Fosheze
I use PiHole at home for sytem wide blocking and Vivaldi as my main browser.

I get the adblocker blocker on my main google account, but I have a couple of others for hobbies and I have not seen the blocker there.

Pi-Hole can’t block YouTube ads. Use LibreWolf with uBlock Origin, it works like a dream. Or try alternative frontends for YouTube like Invidious or Piped. These are even better when combined with LibRedirect, it automatically redirects all YouTube links to your preferred alternative frontend.

I do not have an issue with blocking YouTube ads. Vivaldi does that perfectly.

The issue is the new adblocker blocker that YouTube is throwing up.

For that I have 2 simple solutions, Invidious or screw it and go read a book.
