discussion Youtube has lost their minds and we are enterting the dark ages

[SmittenCake]

Coz WTF IS DIS!?

 

 i have adblock on Opera. I have like 3 of them installed and still get this bullshit. This is insane!!

 

[nostalgic]

I've never had this happen once. I'm still using ublock origin as I always have and the only problems I run into are the occasional video that I'll have to reload to play. Everyone getting these messages must be using the weaker adblockers that take money from certain companies to allow ads - go with ublock and you shouldn't have this problem.

[Cheers]

Happened to me too. Disgusting!

Brace yourself sis, happened to me on ublock origin as well.

Everything is going to ****.

Netflix + Disney's password sharing, Elon's Twitter charging $1/mo, etc. 

[LustSpell]

Tragic. They brought in nearly $29 BILLION in ad-revenue in 2022 and they're acting as if that's operating at a loss **** outta here. I will continue to block

[Smarticle]

Nobody wants to wake up to the news that i woke up to this morning...

I have ads on my phone. I have adblock on my laptop but I rarely use it to watch Youtube there these days

[Apolonio ₃₄]

I’m so used to ads I don’t even care anymore. It is what it is.

Same. The only time I will stop using YouTube is when they make subscription mandatory to watch videos

 

[futurenostalgic]

Us ASMR watchers/listeners are SUFFERING 

[Sawk]

Ads in the middle of videos is the worst thing that has ever happened to YouTube, im addicted to it, so I have no other choice, but they’re greedy af and it ruins the pacing while watching.

This is where I'm at with it. It's INCREDIBLY annoying but it is what it is.

I mean YouTube needs to finance itself so I'm sure you'll survive some ads if you haven't figured out yet how great yt music and the free yt premium that comes with it are

[St. Charles]

My solution to this is downloading this chrome extension which can speed up videos. I turn it up to 10x and it speeds past ads while still giving the content creators revenue.

YT has been financing itself for almost 20 years with very little additional features added over that long ass time span.  They're going in advertising overdrive because less people are watching YT, meaning less ad revenue, which ironically will push more people away from YT and continue ad revenue loss.

i'm starting to get a little bit scared right now

[Gorjesspazze9]

I remember when I was In Highschool in like 2007 and there were no ads at all

Use ublock.

 

Just manually update the filters since updates are not real time. Youtube has found a way to bypass adblockers by changing codes everyday.

 

Ublock dashboard > Filter lists > Purge all caches > Update now

You'll get the message soon. I didn't get it either until recently.

I like ads they make me feel like I'm in 2007

 

They just need iconic ones. These new ones are lame. We need more education connection bops.
