Ad blockers assert your belief in the web browser as user agent, not server agent
- We know you’re using an ad blocker. How dare you.
- Alphabet’s cross-subsidy, and the political value of controlling the Overton window, allows Youtube to remain publicly accessible.
- You can get double-penetrated with Youtube Premium, first on the subscription fee then on the usage analytics.
Datura Network’s Invidious instance has a rotating IP, so it’s considerably harder for Google to block it.
I love that their warning is an admission of failure
That sucks. Do you have access to a VPN with servers in Albania or Moldova? They still don’t allow ads in youtube videos.
Happened to me last month, I set proton VPN to an Albanian server and everything worked until uBlock got updated to suppress the black screen of death again. Good luck!
“Violate Terms of Service” 😂 such agressive language for not wanting to watch endless ads for 2 min videos.
Get fucked.
YouTube violates MY terms of service when it abuses my network infrastructure and resources to download data I did not request.
Violate is standard legal language for breaking a contract or agreement
I can’t wait for the plugin that replaces all the ads with black and white mime videos
