In ublock origin settings, purge and update filters daily. Never watch YouTube videos while logged in to any Google account. Some people have reported you have to remove extensions because they’ve been finding a way to exploit other extensions somehow but I’m able to keep no script enabled no problem.

Ublock origin some Anti adblock Filter and RTFM. And you’re good to go :)

Some people will see something like this and others won’t. They are rolling it out slowly so we get used to it.

Using FreeTube, I don’t see.

I saw it exactly one time, and then I think my blockers got updated and I haven’t seen it since. That works for me!

Not gonna defend YouTube here, they should not have done this. HOWEVER I do care about creators on YouTube and so I actually purchased YouTube premium. It’s actually a pretty sweet deal when I consider how often I actually watch YouTube, and the fact that I actually can get a lot of use out of YouTube Music, personally. I’m not gonna say it’s a good deal for everybody, but if you actually watch any YouTube content creators regularly that you don’t contribute to via other means, it’s worth considering to avoid ads while making sure they can still get paid.

Alphabet (Google and Youtube’s parent company) reported $282,836,000,000 in revenue with a gross profit of $156,633,000,000 in the 2022 fiscal year. I’m pretty sure they can afford to pay their creators what’s owed without also resorting to being shit.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 11 months ago
The creators get a share of the ad revenue from their videos. If you block ads, you’re directly causing them to lose income.
Which is kinda a dick move.

Your Youtube creators would be better helped by donating to their patreon or koffi, not greedy corporations.

If only paying for Premium would remove the paid promotions from the content creators.
I paid for Premium so my children won’t be brain washed by advertising, yet they still get subjected to product placement and dishonest promotion that often doesn’t even explain that it’s a promotion.

i have heard of some addons for youtube that allow for skipping sponsor segments and other stuff like begging to subscribe
i have see that on piped, which is a youtube frontend that removes any tracking and ads, kinda like invidious, but allows to skip sponsors and stuff. its pretty good! i only stopped using it because there are no servers in my country and videos took too long to load :D

I don’t see it with NewPipe either

Invidio.us works great, too.

These pop up for a second for me and then dissappear
I have unlock origin installed

how do they block video playback
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sorry youtube… not my tempo.
Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They started popping up for me; after looking into it, it appears that YouTube enhancer was conflicting with ulock origin. Disable Youtube enhancer’s ad blocking and ublock will work again.
