Oh okay, so Youtube is cracking down on “Ad Blockers”. Rightio. 🤔 And paying for Youtube Premium costs $14/month?! 🤯 Get fucked 🤣 I guess I won’t be using Youtube anymore. #Youtube #Ads #Premium #Suck

I don’t have this problem :) https://mckinley.cc/blog/20220506.xhtml

I’ve started working on an update to that post at least 3 times in the past year, maybe now is the time to get it out.

@prologic@twtxt.net They can’t win unless they do it cryptographically, i.e. with real DRM. Even then, I think it’s still easy enough to extract a Widevine L3 key from an Android phone.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have seen these screen shots. But have not yet seen them in actuality. I use ublockOrigin. Maybe it gets these too unlike adblock.

For android I have revanced.. The only place I get ads is on TV. I haven’t found a replacement there.

@prologic@twtxt.net there is also an adblocker rule you can use to get rid of it:

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

@prologic@twtxt.net They have a help center article about it - hope you’re not using Safari…
