Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround

  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.

        I don’t care if you want to debate it, the point of the article is wrong. The original commenter doesn’t deserve the hate, but their summary of the article, while being accurate, is not a real work around. I didn’t attack them, so I’m not in disagreement there.

    I read it it comes off as an ad for premium

    And that ain’t the solution

    … Did you?

    That said though, there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin. Yes, I know that Google has blocked it from its Chrome Extension store, but there is still a way to get uBlock Origin on Chrome that our how-to extraordinaire Kaycee has detailed.

  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.
