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

Everyone breaking the website so they can watch gigabytes of content without ads or subscription: You’re not allowed to break things just because you disagree with the other party! You should find an amicable alternative!

I ask a website for content.

The website gives me content and a side of shit.

I instruct my intelligent butler to discard the shit and only give me the content I requested.

I get only the content I requested.

If a website wants to run ads that’s fine, I’ll just remove them. If they want to gate their content behind a paywall that’s fine, I’ll just make a determination about whether or not what they offer is worth it.

Removing ads is not “breaking a website” if anything it’s the exact opposite–restoring a cleaner layout, faster loading, less privacy invasion, and a reduced chance of malware.
