Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.

Okay, good on ya. Hate Google on as much as you want.

I don't have an infinite supply of income to be able to support their lowest monthpy subscription tiers of all my favourite creators, which ends up being the same financial issue with paying for multiple exclusive platforms, but for creators instead.

Even if I do support my most favourite of the most deserving creators, I don't have the time to reap their benefits (eg. WIPs, streams, etc) as I already am consuming and enjoying their works that they publicly release. The only exception to this is exclusive content that isn't posted on Youtube - which even then some creators do release them eventually.

You could probably take whatever premium costs each month and spread it around different creators you like each month. That may be more effort than is worth it to you but I'd bet they'd get more money from you still.
