ublock origin still works
Also, AFAIK, configuring NoScript and only allowing youtube and ytimg to load works.
uBlock can also block Javascript just like NoScript
Yes.
on android too if you have firefox
Doesn’t work on mobile.
Works with firefox mobile
NewPipe does!
Revanced has worked no problemo through the whole ad blocker ordeal
Firefox + uBlockOrigin
Any browser + uBlockOrigin
Any non-chromium browser + uBlockOrigin
Aye now we’re talking
RIP Vivaldi then 🥲
Not for much longer.
RIP 🥲 I love Vivaldi. Let’s see.
Ad blockers work fine, what do you mean? Youtube lost, their next big idea wont even try kicking in until next year.
As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don’t use it with any other adblockers.
Also if you’re using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.
You don’t.
You’ll take whatever cock daddy capitalism shoves down your throat and you’ll damn well like it.
Or use an adblocker.
Soooooo I’m liking option B).

You have a choice. Use their service with the shitty ads or find something else to do.
It sucks, but that’s what you’ve got.
Third option is to use the service without ads by either subscribing or using an adblocker.
that’s just a temporal patch and does not solve the monopoly situation
god i wish it were that easy
Capitalism is supposed to give consumers choice.
Nah that’s just propaganda, capitalism is supposed to be efficient and make profits, but tends towards monopolies over time.
User choice comes ONLY from regulation preventing monopolies and dishonest practices.

Reporting the ad does not make it disappear. I still get that fucking epoch times trans-hate ad all the time.
I’ve reported it about a dozen times so far.

Worked perfectly! Thanks!
unlock orgin is one of the best Adblockers and there’s revanced, newpipe sponsorock and YouTube frontends
edit: or you could leave and reclick on the video
Sorry to nitpick, but it’s Ublock Origin. I know autocorrect hates “ublock”
thanks, im an human and humans make mistakes
edit: i have auto correct off but the middle text button thing on
I 100% want trying to be a dick to you, I only said that in case people that didn’t know better tried to search it. Apologies if I came off sideways!
Here’s a creative way to do it.
- Print out the downvote symbol and a screenshot of the ad.
- Dip the paper in dog shit to emphasize that the ad is a shitpost.
- Send it to 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043.
- ???
- Profit.
When the ad is playing you may see Sponsored X:XX and a little i in a circle in the lower left corner. Click the i. This will give you the ability to block or report the ad as appropriate. It will also show you what category has been associated to you as to why you received the ad, you can say if you want more or less ads of that category.
The iOS mobile app has a bug currently where you need to quit the app and come back after doing this, but it does block the ad and you won’t see that particular cut of the ad again. Unfortunately unless it’s a mid-video ad, or from a channel you’re subscribed to you will lose the video you’re watching as it hasn’t made it into your play history yet. But if the ad was mid-video your video can be resumed via history. For clarity, the video still exists, it’s just hit or miss if the video will be in the curated randomness they present you for you to try starting the video again.
Just use newpipe or something similar. I haven’t used the actual YouTube app in years there’s literally no reason to
I wouldn’t know, haven’t seen an ad on youtube in like 10 years.
Its not possible to “downvote” ads but you can still block them by using ublock origin on firefox
You can affect the ads by finding normal ads around the internet (served by Google) and telling Google what is and isn’t relevant to you.
However, Google seems to allow advertisers to lie and game their system. Ie PragerU will advertise some “trans is bad” “children’s book” schlock, labeled as “video games.”
When you’re already sucking it up and trying to fairly engage with Google, it’s disheartening to see they don’t even pay attention to what they serve people.
So this comment kind of misunderstands how the Google ad system works for youtube.
When you click on a video, Google presents you, and the video you are watching (with categories associated with you and the video) to an auction. Advertisers then bid on your view, and whoever has the highest bid wins, you see their ad. This is all automated and happens in the blink of an eye, but that’s the basic system.
This means that parties that want to show ads to you will get to, no matter your preferences.
This is for the interstitials right? It’s a separate system than the ones on the side?
Edit: I just went off this: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7403255?hl=en
It sounds like they’re talking about ads in the video.
Knocking on wood, but at the moment ublock origin+ firefox still do the trick ? Well get the warning twice sine they start fighting adblocker, so it may change at some point.
But indeed, I should use youtube less, I pay for spotify, but sometimes use as a source for music, I tend to then fall on clickbaits video especially when cooking.
