People keep saying this but I guess I'm on the lucky slow end of the rollout because I haven't had my adblock stop working yet.
But they've done this before, it's just a cycle. If I have to, I'll start using a new adblocker, or entirely diffent way to access the videos, once an option becomes available shortly, inevitably. No reason to worry about this long term IMO.
Ublock released an update that allowed it to keep working on YouTube.
When? I'm one video away from being blocked and I manually updated my ublock stuff like a week ago.
I had to re-update last night. I've heard it's a bit of an arms race currently, so you might need to regularly update.
Personally I'm getting libredirect up and considering full abandonment of all the major platforms. I'm already on lemmy, I might as well move away from everything else that is that is going through enshittification.
Man, I'm still waiting on Netflix to tell me my parents and I can't use the same account. They asked for an email verification code one time and that's been it.
Honestly I'm just kind of blue balled at this point. Just make me cancel already!
Same here, but Netflix is going to increase prices again, so that might be the final straw to ditch them for me
Spotify has been harassing me to get whatever the heck the duo crap is...literally only me uses it but I'm on the verge of cancelling from their full screen garbage
That's too bad. Just in these last few days I've been messing around with free Spotify and I was wondering if it might be worth trying out paying for it.
What exactly is the full screen garbage you're talking about?
Telling me to upgrade to duo so I can share my login for whatever reason. It's just annoying more then anything.
This is pretty much it. Desktop, android. Don't matter.
This has pissed off a lot of people, including tech youtubers that have had to turn to alternative income sources like sponsors and patreon that are working on or promoting as blockers.
