Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker

If you log in, know that Google knows you’re using MicroG amd has the capacity to ban your account.

Not heard of any bans yet, but I’m probably close to ditching revanced soon because this is my primary email address and Google is getting more and more aggressive

I think what you have in mind is YouTube Vanced. ReVanced doesn’t use the MicroG Suite.

Even Walmart lets shoplifters return to their stores after like three years. Think about that, if you owned a shop, what would mean to welcome back as a customer someone who previously stole from you?

Not that blocking ads is stealing, that they need us a lot more than we need them. Can build the nicest, fanciest store around with all the best things for sale, doesn’t mean shit if nobody shops there.

If the experience gets any worse, I just won’t watch YouTube videos. I already watch way less than I used to when it was a cool video hosting platform, before it started enshitifying.

I’ve been using microg for ages both for voiced before it got shutdown by Google and for revanced

Nothing has happened to my account

  Yes, I said that, but there’s still the possibility. It’s explicitly against their terms of service and when you log into an account specifically to break their terms of service, they reserve the right to tell you to go fuck yourself
  
  Just because they haven’t yet doesn’t mean they won’t. We’re entering a new era of enshitification
