Don’t shoot the messenger, they’re just citing the “workaround” from the article. The article also mentions using uBlock but only after writing two paragraphs convincing you that Premium is totally the solution to go with.

The workaround is pay for YouTube premium.

Fuck youtube and their shit premium pricing

I think that’s fine. Let the non-tech-savvy users pay for the service. It seems like they deserve it, and also they keep YT running for “free”.
You can keep enjoying YT with Firefox + uBO or PipePipe on your phone.

I’m pretty tech savvy and pay for premium. It’s just too good a value for my household right now.

You could save nearly a couple hundred a year in most instances. LG have a dev account path, android is relatively simple I hear and various foss apps and patching apps will cover most.
Google are undeserving of more money

are you paraphrasing what the article said or saying it yourself?
harsh3466@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
I was just citing the article’s stated workaround since that’s what everyone will want to know.

With all due respect, no the fuck it ain’t

With all due respect, that’s exactly what the article suggests is the solution.
Didn’t read it, did you?

The article can say that the sun is blue, that doesn’t make it true - which is the point you’re ignoring.
Because buying premium is not a workaround for an ad blocker not working, it’s giving up on the broken extension.

I’m not going to debate you on that, but the original commenter was saving people the effort of reading a pointless article, and getting shat on for it.
I didn’t think that was fair.
ieatpwns@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I read it it comes off as an ad for premium
And that ain’t the solution

Agree. I was just citing the article.

The Internet is full of people who can’t understand irony unless they’re slapped in the face with the /s.
