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.
