I really don't think it's greed. Can't blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking. I'm sure it's not the end of the world, and new ways to circumvent this will show up.

I feel like we had a good relationship as it was. I don’t feel like ad blockers are mainstream enough to hinder revenue. But these changes are pushing me to divest from the platform. I’ve shared fewer YT links in discord since they went after the music bots.

Soon, people will join the strange and buggy world of YouTube alternative frontends

Is there any adblockers that still work on YouTube?

Holy cow, is the real? On YouTube desktop? Or just on mobile?

Does this affect viewing youtube videos through external players, like mpv?
