From the post: "After a few months of testing, YouTube has opened the floodgates to its blocking of ad blockers, and that’s led to a wave of uninstalls – but not of YouTube.

YouTube’s crackdown on ad blockers started earlier this year in a limited capacity and slowly ramped up to affect more and more users. As of this week, the practice was in full swing, affecting virtually anyone using an ad blocker around the globe. YouTube says that using an ad blocker violates the platform’s policies."

No kidding. Between ublock origin and pi-hole nearly all of the ad's are blocked for me. If they try to force me to watch that garbage ill use a different platform or find some other way to skip them.

I pretty much listen to everything and have methods on all my devices that I’m comfortable with. TubeCasts on iOS, YTDL and Vanced on Android, two programs I can’t think of on my laptop/desktop that I just drag and drop to.

But when I watch YouTube the way they want you to, man is it bad. AI clone voices of Obama trying to get your personal info for super secret $7,500 handouts, “Senior Dating” with women who are like 38-years-old, Siding and Roofing scams, you name it.
