Hit report issue to confuse their algorithms lol
As if they even take time to view or utilize those reports. It has always taken a
Twittercampaign to get YouTube to even notice an issue with the algorithm.
Anti adblock-blocker-blocker time
If you’re using uBlock Origin. Go to “Filter Lists” and Purge All Caches. That may help.
Worse yet, on Firefox for Android I got an ad despite using uBlock Origin.
That happened to me on desktop aswell. I updated Firefox and uBlock and rebooted my computer and that seems to have solved it. For now…
Fuck YouTube. All my homies use PeerTube.
Well, at least in my dreams.
Here’s the thing, YouTube. When you first started running ads, I didn’t really mind. They were short, there weren’t that many, and if they were particularly annoying or repetitive, there was a skip button. I respected that you needed to make money and that you wanted to pay the content creators, and you respected my time.
But then you decided to flood the fucking platform and cut the revenue share with the creators. Without adblock, I can’t watch a 5 minute video without 5 minutes of ads. You’re trying to force me into paying for your premium service by annoying me to death.
Which I might do if I thought the people whose videos I actually like got a decent share of the revenue. But they don’t. Hell, at least one of my favorite YouTubers is regularly demonetized, so they wouldn’t see a penny.
So, YouTube, I’ll keep blocking ads and use services like Patron to support my favorite YouTube folks the best I can. And if you won’t let me use adblock? Well, I guess I have to find some other way to occupy that hour or so a week I use your service, because I’m sure as shit not using half of it to watch ads that don’t benefit the people whose videos I enjoy.
this is more an adblock plugin issue than a firefox issue. Had this notification a few times now…
Nah. YT/Google is consistently working on breaking adblocks, this is just the tip.
Brave’s adblockers are still working for me

Just get youtube premium if you don’t want ads. The people you watch deserve to be paid for their work
If you think people are getting paid by youtube then your are wrong. The amount per user is insignificant.
You can spend a $ directly to any creator you like and watch his channel ad free for the rest of your life and they have more money from you than they would get by ads from youtube
While I basically agree with what you’re saying, I’d also like to point out that the money they get from you watching ads is miniscule. I don’t remember which YouTuber it was, maybe Matthias Wandell, who said that if you donate just one dollar, that’s more than they’re ever going to profit from you watching ads.
Hi LTT, how’s your daily dose of anti adblock shilling going?
Nah, I only ever liked YouTube because it was a site where complete randoms could share stuff for free
I’m not interested in paying someone’s salary, I just want to watch people’s videos of their pets and kids and stuff like that
complete randoms could share stuff for free
who do you think opts to put ads on their videos. Google doesn’t force anyone to monetise their videos if they don’t want to.
Yeah, it’s their choice, not mine. Exactly.
Its sad this is being downvoted. Ethically you should pay to use the service either through ads and personal data or subscription and personal data.
I don’t do either because I don’t like Google and don’t care about being Ethical to them. I understand why they would try and stop me and I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will have to give up youtube in the next decade.
I don’t get it why is ethical when the options includes “… AND personal data”.
If you sign into YouTube with a Google account you’ve opted into your watch history being linked to your online profile. That’s not unethical.
If you’re talking ethics, I think the most important thing is that the user controls what their software does. YouTube videos are hosted on the web, and fundamentally people can choose how to display web sites on their own computer. Of course, if YouTube doesn’t like this it’s their prerogative to not host their content like that.
The user controls what they display but Google controls what YouTube should be. And it should be ad supported or subscription.
