And this is how I stopped using your Youtube

I guess I didn't use YouTube enough, the pop up only warns me and no limit imposed yet

 

[cheapchips]

Since I don't pay for it, I just ignore the ads. No warnings so far!

That is exactly what Youtube wanted. You only cost them money without bringing in any revenue.

That happened on my wife's PC with ublock origin running FF but not on mine with a similar set up. I putzed around in ublock looking for a setting to fix it, gave up and disabled it overnight along with SponsorBlock for YouTube and decided to fix it in the morning.

In the morning I re-enabled the two and everything worked fine. I still don't know what happened or what I did but it's all working so all better.

Apparently Youtube are updating multiple times per day to get round the fixes by the uBlock guys.
Who wins?
Youtube with $$$ and high level engineering pros but possibly limited budget/timescale for the project.
Or adblock guys with years of experience getting round this stuff, maybe limited free time but also doing it for ideological reasons rather than pay.

Some suggestions that Youtube may be at least breaching EU law.

I don't get the pop-up in macOS with Safari and Private Relay enabled.

I Didnt get it in linux but not sure if firefox has an adblocker

Ads are so annoying.

On autismforums.com, they plaster them right over the compose box. I think using Opera is more essential than ever.

Adblock seems to be winning so far.
I had to turn it off for about a week & watch a bunch of ads trying to convince me to sign up to workshops to learn how to make money by convincing people to sign up to your workshops about how to make money but its back on now without any obvious issue since.

 

[Mr. Static]

There's a lot of irony with a manchild on YouTube. They bash people, yet what they say is often true about themselves. So it's ironic in a hypocritical manner. You know?

 

[Davros]

@hoom these money making schemes are so profitable that the inventors have to make ends meet by selling courses on how to use their money making scheme

 

[Mr. Static]

They had a cheek in the past, making you have 1000 subs for Super Chat and monetization. A lot of people struggle to even gain a quarter of that amount. It's 50 subs now, I think.

Do they think people have time to park their arse on a seat all day?
