BurningRiver,

Just stay off YouTube for a fucking month. Or even a week. If the traffic plummets, then we win. Why’s it so hard to understand this?

Hell, make it one day where nobody uses YouTube.

_MusicJunkie,

If the traffic plummets, YouTube wins. Serving content to ad-blocking users only costs them money. They don’t want those users.

Was understood that Beehaw is the nice corner of the fediwebz?

Is swearing itself inherently not nice? Shit…

BurningRiver,

I wasn’t swearing at anyone. Was my reply wrong? The only way tech companies tech take notice is if people don’t use their services when they’re unhappy with it.

pup_atlas,

That would be a dream come true for Youtube. Think about how that would affect them financially, they would be serving significantly less load, but they would still rake in all those Youtube premium subscriptions. It would effectively be campaigning to remove the users who aren’t monetized from the platform.

MoonlitSanguine,

I’m getting the same issues but with Firefox + uBlockOrigin

I'm getting a 1m33s video saying the content isn't available. FF for Android and Ublock Origin

Plume,

Skill issues. uBlock Origin.

Newtra,

The funny thing is that YouTube’s code is already so laggy that we all believed this without a second thought.

CookieManTheGreat,

Ah so its the idiots still using non ublock

pineapplelover,

Normies still be using anything other than ublock :( when will they learn

DJDarren,

No ublock for Safari, which, yeah, is Apple’s fault for being dicks, but it still sucks.

usualsuspect191,

I think part of the problem is that we refer to these as “ad blockers” so AdBlock is the first one people find when they look.

pineapplelover,

Yeah we should start calling them ublockers

Diabolo96, (edited )

Anyone and Everyone with the slightest of computer knowledge but paid shills are plugging ublock origin everywhere and anywhere they can , and yet people still choose other garbages. You’d think that maybe they’ll see that tiny ‘sponsored’ text on top of the search result when looking for an adblock and go " why an adblock would advertise itself on search engines? this reeks of garbage, data siphoning bullshit adblock " but no, they even go as far as to defend it. I can’t even bother with these people anymore.

SSUPII,

Adblock Plus was the only decent adblocker available for Internet Explorer 11 a couple of years ago. Only reason I used it.

DarkThoughts,

I'm not sure you know what a couple is. Also, arguing with IE of all browsers is not going to make a strong case either.

SSUPII,

Point at the case, because mine was an affirmation that it wasn’t good as I reluctantly used it.

I miss when people trusted nerds instead of corporations. Applies to a variety of fields.
