@VoltanisNF Yeah, really speed-running both enshittification and unusability. Going to be wild when the anti-ad blocker changes in Chrome kick in next June.

@brakeoutgaming @VoltanisNF I’ve had no issues with Firefox and uBlock Origin. 👍

@EighthLayer @VoltanisNF I'll have to check that out! I use FF with Ghostery and NoScript, and YouTube still grabs me by the lapels and says, "listen up, mofo-"

@EighthLayer @brakeoutgaming
I'm using Firefox and uBlock and that's what I'm getting. Guessing I'm missing the appropriate filter somewhere.

@VoltanisNF @brakeoutgaming Oh okay. I haven’t added anything specific. Maybe there is more to it.

@EighthLayer @VoltanisNF I wonder if it may be location-specific as well - like they may be pushing it harder in NA than other parts of the world

@brakeoutgaming @VoltanisNF Yeah that’s possible.

Personally, there’s only so much effort I’ll put into blocking ads before I give up and stop using YouTube.

@EighthLayer @brakeoutgaming I mean, I already mostly use FreeTube on PC and NewPipe on my phone, so if I really need to watch a YouTube video I have better options. I just happened to be on the site earlier and noticed that garbage. Deleted my YouTube account as well.
