Is there anything new in this post that I’m missing?

[-] ericjmorey@beehaw.org 17 points 1 year ago

I don't think so.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Nope. This has been going on for months already. Nothing new here. There's atleast three different kinds of pop-ups for adblock users and the same solution works for all of them.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

which is? besides not using YouTube?

Disable all other adblockers, disable enhanced tracking protection for youtube.com in Firefox (shield icon in addres bar), remove your custom adblocking rules and update uBlock Origin manually atleast twice a day; settings > filter list > quick fixes > click the clock icon > click update. Alternatively you can also just purge catches and update all filters but that takes longer is is not necessary

I've been sitting pretty with both uBlock Origin and uMatrix stopping both the ads and the delay from YouTube. Not sure what exactly is doing which, but it's been working for me

Yeah it might not matter but for people having issues with these pop-ups, that's the most likely culpript

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

right, thank you but I think I will stick with invidious for a while, that's easier

It's a strange post in general. Someone's substack, written in some generic faux-journalist style, with one source for the main claim ("a Redditor"), who isn't linked to. Don't know why it's being shared here.

It’s a substack post. At this point, my quality expectation is

  1. Wordpress - Probably someone who really cares about what they write about
  2. Substack - Either low effort spam like this that gets upvoted for some reason or someone pushing their agenda, hard
  3. Medium - Either spam, wrong, dumb, or too simple. Literally never worth reading.

My understanding of the three platforms, too. Interesting how similar people congregate in platforms.
