Nah, if Youtube blocks adblockers then I’ll just waste my time elsewhere.
Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable
Beep@lemmus.org 1 day agoActually, YouTube is cracking down on adblockers.
So while you might not feel the pain now, you will eventually.

Same, I low key hope they do it so I’ll read more. This might be the only way. 🙃

There’s always a workaround…

Firefox + uBlock Origin has worked well for years.

+1 combo. privacy badger, ublock origin and umatrix for fine tuning. also a youtube specific addon. seems okay

What’s a YouTube specific add on?
SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
Because they don’t put the effort in.
Add a simple “the video isn’t served until the ad’s length has elapsed” and suddenly your only workaround is to spend 30s staring at a black screen.

Txt file with favorite channels as input for a yt-dlp download script schedule. Combined with a selfhosted invidious and freetube desktop app for other then favorite videos.
Honestly I am really tired of jumping trough hoops, have to make sure yt-dlp and invidious use a proxy (cloudflare warp) or google will ban your ip for being a bot.
But having to deal with the actual YouTube site or reopening my google account is worse.

Why not run tubearchivist or something?

First I hear of if but a quick scroll shows it mostly to organize an existing collection so you would still need to download.
I put them straight into jellyfin which works fine for me.

You got that script handy?

I wont be home till quite a few hours.
But also its general boilerplate enough an ai can help you get you one according to your own preferences.
There are also a number of examples online.
This one looks pretty interesting github.com/panchi64/auto-ytdlp

The moment I’m unable to watch YouTube ad-free is the moment I never watch YouTube again.
Typhoon@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
When it reaches that point I’ll stop watching YouTube. I will never feel the pain they inflict.

Cracking down just means I don’t watch the content, still not getting ads.

They’ve been “cracking down on adblockers” for over a decade
LedgeDrop@lemmy.zip 19 hours ago
“They” have also been trying to prevent consumers/us from taking ownership of our devices and data for the last 2-decades.
… and, ya know what? It’s working.
