Yeah same. Idk why I've got ublock setup, tried resetting the filter cache, reinstalled unlock (idk if that helps but had to try) and I still get these.

I've started transitioning to Odysee. It's like YT but less evil.

There are some not so obvious right wing propaganda videos on there fyi.

Yeah, better to stay on Youtube and Reddit and Xitter, where there's no propaganda. Odysee's content range might accommodate the moderate centre better if people started using it. And we can't have that!

I have enhancer for youtube extension for firefox and I get to just cross it off

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure enhancer was one of the adblocks YouTube could detect. Uncheck that option and install ublock origin when you've got the chance.

That too. There's. New dystopian Rayman universe show on Netflix rn.

Just saw the "will be blocked after 3 videos" for the first time" (I was only seeing the generic warning so far). Updated filters and it went away.

I recently stumbled upon this post; seems like filing a complaint to said entity is something you can do if you're in the EU. I haven't done so yet, but I plan to. The fella over there has even provided the text he's sent. If what is said is true and it's indeed illegal for YouTube to show such prompts (and if that entity receives enough complaints), they might be forced to withdraw them (unless they're using some legal loophole already).

What happen if you simply use opera or brave? The default anti tracking functionality normally triggers these protections, it blocks you just for browsing a certain browser? Without even having any adblock plugin

Revanced still works, not using it is just silly.

[-] notasandwich1948@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

don't know why nobody mentioned this but opening each video in new private tab works just fine

Same story, different day.

😃 - “I blocked ads”

🙁 - “I don’t have ads”
