Well I guess I'll be mozying over to Rumble now.

20 minutes later

Turns out Jews are aliens directing the Democratic Party and Hollywood to sacrifice babies for adrenochrome. Why is the lamestream media not talking about this???

If you're on desktop, download FreeTube. No more ads, ever. No more jittery youtube videos even though you have 300mbs down, you can download any video in app at max speeds, and its not algorithm fed. I imported my subscriptions, and now if I want to see something new I can use the not broken search function. Its like early early youtube and its wonderful!

I use Firefox on Linux Mint, none of this happens and if it does you fix it by copy pasting a code on the settings of ublock

AdGuard pro, SponsorBlock, DeArrow, and Untrap for YouTube. I only rarely ever see a brief part of a sponsor ad, and never see YouTube’s own ads.

Untrap lets you modify nearly anything about YouTube like even removing the view count and channel avatars, among many other options.

The whole idea that it violates the terms of service of a company to not let them show things on my screen without my consent is insane. It's like if every time you went to the grocery store, the employees held you down and force fed you a free sample, then banned you from the store when you started running away from them.

I kinda miss when places would host their own videos instead of relying on youtube, but that's the problem of a centralized internet, the majority of people won't want to leave yt/ig/fb/tiktok/twitter/reddit in order to watch or read whatever you posted.

Use freetube, a desktop frontend to invidious that you can import your sub list

Never look back

I saw it and refreshed the ublock filters and everything works again

A week ago YouTube forced me to disable an adblock extension on one of my PCs.

And you know what? Experiencing YouTuve with advertising is the best. It completely breaks my mood interrupting a video I'm watching and I often end up just closing the video and going to do something else like coding or doing something useful at home.

So, I'm here recommending disabling your ad blocker if you are prone to procrastinating like me:)

i use ublock origin

reddit still good for something: Filter Lists-->uBlock filters-->uncheck the "ublock filters - quickfixes" box and then reload the page.

this worked for me

If a million porn sites can make streaming video work, then YouTube is replaceable.

Fun fact, it seems this ban is IP based. (they're still testing in waves with a subset of overall users)

I switched to a new IP with my VPN, and while still signed in to the same YouTube account on the same video without ever clearing my cache or cookies, the block disappeared.

Genius work from the developers over at YouTube.

So sad YouTube died, it was such a useful service.

I've landed on that page a couple of times. I'm just waiting to be blocked.

I almost never watch videos on youtube because I download them and watch them locally. The two things that I use to download them are Downie (Mac) and yt-download (cross platform). This helps me avoid ads unless they are baked into the video. I also like to grab a bunch of content all at once and then watch at my leisure.

This is an interesting way to watch YouTube, and I have some questions about your system around watching the videos.

  1. How do you plan out downloading and watching the videos? Do you download at the time of watching, or do you just download as many videos you like when you get the chance?
  2. What do you do with the videos after watching?
