Does this affect viewing youtube videos through external players, like mpv?

Reddit is to Lemmy what YouTube is to PeerTube. We have options!
I’m honestly amazed they let us use adblockers for that long.
The mains stream proprietary corporations seem to be full of themselves recently, or maybe it was a slow-time coming situation. These sorts of lock-down moves are good, because it forces people to open their eyes on censorship and look for alternatives (fediverse/open source.)
My FreeTube still works, but I also have my alternative platforms I view.
I know this may be blasphemy but if you use a VPN to sign up from certain countries you can get YouTube premium for like 25 bucks for the year. Haven't tried it personally but I've seen it mentioned a million times.
If they go to war with adblockers though some one smarter then me will probably come out with a way to just download the video and cut out ads post.
