don’t know why nobody mentioned this but opening each video in new private tab works just fine

Haven’t seen them yet. Old uBlock, Russia, Linux. They haven’t put ads in videos since 03.2022 for obvious reasons, so there’s an unique rule created for us.

Maybe it’s something of use for you all, to curcumvent it. Not via VPN tho, probs, as our local feed is a digital cancer. Opening it from a new PC is like nothing else.

None of my devices (all firefox with ublock) have had any issues with ads on youtube...yet.

It’s revanced / gray Jay time

I pay for YT premium, but downloaded GrayJay yesterday. one thing I noticed is even when signed into YT, and having the plug-in slider checked to report usage my History is not getting updated.

I primarily watch YT so I actually don’t mind paying for it. YTM is also my primary streaming music, but I like what Louis and Futo are doing. I also installed their voice app which works damn good. The only downside is I haven’t found a good privacy aware foss keyboard that is ‘ok’ and has swipe typing. I swipe enough that it’s annoying. (gboard won’t allow you to switch to a different voice-text app)

I didn’t get any of this. I’m using chrome

People are going to throw a brick at me, but I’m using brave and have never seen this.

This has probably nothing to do with the browser in this case. YT is A/B testing this, which makes reproduction harder as they slowly roll it out.

lastrogue, 8 months ago

Very plausible. I also haven’t recently been signing in when watching.

I noticed some thoughts in this thread estimating that this is being rolled out to users logging in for the time being.

I have enhancer for youtube extension for firefox and I get to just cross it off

I'm pretty sure enhancer was one of the adblocks YouTube could detect. Uncheck that option and install ublock origin when you've got the chance.
