  I normally compassion about the same thing being reported over and over. But this one event is actually affecting a lot of people who use the fediverse.

    It’s not really a problem though, least not one worth being constantly all over my feed. the solution is in the picture. Allow YT ads or pay , it’s really not the hard.

      The thing is that it’s been proven that companies will still make a profit by selling your data, or showing you ads later when your plan suddenly becomes “Cheapo option” and they force you to upgrade to “plus options, no ads”.

      Why enable that?

        When that happens to YouTube , I’ll change my mind. But until then I’m not going to continue acting entitled to keep using an adblocker because I feel they don’t need the profit. I solved that problem by paying for premium years ago. If you’re concerned about having your data sold, why even use the service. I’m helping support the content I’m watching either with ads or by paying premium. What they do with that information is a separate issue.
