I'm sure someone out there is already making a "YouTube anti adblock" chrome extension (probably already exists)

Well, I use Brave beside Adblock and nothing of that warning appears in front of me.

This will take about a week to have the better blockers on top of it.

I signed off of youtube and haven't watch since. Looks like life after youtube exists! I'm good, apparently I haven't been affected.

But blockers still working well. Why?

Already faced their stupid anti-adblocker pop-up, and found a simple & brilliant workaround to get rid of it.
YouTube/Google is stupid if they think people who have technical knowledge are going to admit defeat & just give up on blocking ads. The simple fact is that people like us don't support horrible companies like YouTube/Google, and we're going to go out of our way to stop them from profiting from us.
And BTW, if YouTube/Google somehow find a way to completely block adblockers, then we'll simply switch to a different platform rather than bending over to them. They won't get what they want from us.

If it really blocks my adblock it's time to say goodbye to my long youtube addiction.

Of course it is not me who cares. Because I found a solution. I am never ever going to watch anything on youtube anymore. I won't even CAPITALIZE any letters of it... I have just disabled the ununinstallable app on my phone as well... Who gave them the right to put that app on my phone anyway?
I have lived without youtube for a long time. What difference is it going to make now?
What is it that you think you are giving? youtube shorts is very annoying anyway...
I don't want to but let me add something! Ad blocker still works on Firefox. but I am still not going to watch anything on youtube. See? Still not CAPITALIZING its letters. Why shoud I?
Good bye youtube! Are you happy now?

No matter how they try my adblocker for chrome as extension works pretty well.
I can watch any video i want without ads. All i have to is to get rid of pop-up my adblocker is on. Rest works very well.
Adblocker brownser and TOR brownser works even better.

The moment this happens to me is the moment I say goodbye to youtube. I would rather miss out on content then watch ads, especially their ads which are the most obnoxious of any platform.

skimminstones, 31 Oct 2023Like all big companies they fail to understand how annoying... moreAs long as there are people dumb enough to buy premium they will continue to fight against blockers. The fact this article exists and people are complaining in the comments shows that there are still very few people that don't realize you can use filters to block the anti-adblocker. I got that warning once; did my research, and installed the filter, and have never had that warning again, and I watch youtube daily for hours on end.

skimminstones, 31 Oct 2023Like all big companies they fail to understand how annoying... moreThose are from greedy youtubers. They can set how many interval ads in their video, not Google. Now even worse with sponsorships, promotion, donations, shopping blah blah🤣
