I’m not going to debate you on that, but the original commenter was saving people the effort of reading a pointless article, and getting shat on for it.
I don’t care if you want to debate it, the point of the article is wrong. The original commenter doesn’t deserve the hate, but their summary of the article, while being accurate to the article, is not a real work around.
I didn’t attack them, so I’m not in disagreement there. But you chose a rather respectful reply to be the disrespectful hill you chose to die on.
That said though, there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin. Yes, I know that Google has blocked it from its Chrome Extension store, but there is still a way to get uBlock Origin on Chrome that our how-to extraordinaire Kaycee has detailed.
You could save nearly a couple hundred a year in most instances. LG have a dev account path, android is relatively simple I hear and various foss apps and patching apps will cover most.
But I don’t just use it for watching videos. I also use YT music to listen to a few hours of music every day, and I also use it as off site storage for hundreds of hours of 4k video.
The workaround is pay for YouTube premium.
Edit: the above is is what the article says. Not my opinion. YT can get bent. Firefox + uBlock has been my “workaround” for years.
With all due respect, no the fuck it ain’t
With all due respect, that’s exactly what the article suggests is the solution.
Didn’t read it, did you?
The article can say that the sun is blue, that doesn’t make it true - which is the point you’re ignoring.
Because buying premium is not a workaround for an ad blocker not working, it’s giving up on the broken extension.

I didn’t think that was fair.

👍
I read it it comes off as an ad for premium
And that ain’t the solution
… Did you?
Agree. I was just citing the article.
The Internet is full of people who can’t understand irony unless they’re slapped in the face with the /s.
Fuck youtube and their shit premium pricing
I think that’s fine. Let the non-tech-savvy users pay for the service. It seems like they deserve it, and also they keep YT running for “free”.
You can keep enjoying YT with Firefox + uBO or PipePipe on your phone.
I’m pretty tech savvy and pay for premium. It’s just too good a value for my household right now.

Google are undeserving of more money
But I don’t just use it for watching videos. I also use YT music to listen to a few hours of music every day, and I also use it as off site storage for hundreds of hours of 4k video.
