A story in three parts: get an adblocker, problem solved
Why would you pay for YouTube and then get an ad blocker? Seems redundant.
Also, YouTube has begun integrating ads server side, making them more difficult to parse out.
I don’t have premium I just have an ad blocker
Smart
"You've got to support the creators"
I spend so much money on Patreon and I never regret a penny of it
Better: quit youtube premium, get an adblocker and live life hassle free
Never heard of Jdownloader, does it offer any benefits over yt-dlp?
The third part is youtube keeps implementing more sophisticated ad blocking to the point you can't block ads..
Idk I’m still blocking ads no problem.
They haven't been successful yet.
They will break the internet as much as they need to in order to accomplish this.
I think its the opposite, the more they tighten the noose the more innovative our solutions are for getting around them. I got so pissed off at seeing half my video watching time go to ads that I found a youtube alternative that goes right on my firestick (smarttube). I wouldnt have bothered doing all that if they had not pushed it too far, which they obviously have.
Sure but also ugggh
