Abhijeet,

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

Matriks404,

I see nothing wrong with Google wanting to make money on YouTube, and I actually own YouTube Premium myself.

But they should really fix YouTube experience, if you don’t use subscriptions box, your main page will be filled with click-baity low-effort videos and that really sucks. There are also other issues as well.

kirk781,

That is true. I hate Shorts and have to block it via uBlock filters. Also, I hate their mobile app. I can’t select a precise app wide video quality. There are only two options: High and Low in the settings. I need to go to Advanced settings upon playing each video to manually set a precise video quality, say 720p. This experience is sub par and below what NewPipe used to provide. I mainly use YouTube Music as a service but they bundle YouTube Premium for little onto it.

JackbyDev,

My front page is usually pretty good on YouTube.

Sorry I have tourette’s syndrome. I can’t help but scream the names of random software sometimes.

greenmarty,

For those on Android, workaround might be Rossman’s new app (the guy fixing Apple PCs). Promise seem kinda alternative NewPipe app but with platforms (e.g.YouTubes) algoritms, following creators across different platform and possibility to log in to your accounts.

It has opensource plugins capabilities so if it gets popular it might keep growing and living from comunity support as well.

I’m not affiliated with that. I’m also yet the app. This is not add. AFAIK app is not monetized at this point.

derpgon,

The app is supposed to be something like 10$, no subscription. Not sure if it’s paid atm.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

you can watch videos without paying the fee. i havent actually encountered any premium features i dont have access to yet

alvanrahimli,

It is just an ask from the community. The app is free, you can use all the features free forever.

That being said, it is always ethical and a good choice to pay for the services you use, get value from.

Not_Alec_Baldwin,

I’d happily pay for YouTube if they hadn’t done bullshit free shenanigans to kill their competition while expanding their reach.

I’ll never pay for YouTube now.

greenmarty,

Are you sure ? Because I could swear it has been announced as free . I have feeling there’s even opensorce code available.

derpgon,

It is open source, but Louis said that albeit it is open source, the app is 10$ or something like that, but you are free to pirate it and he won’t be stopping you.

Or, rather, the “premium” features. No idea what are those tho.

greenmarty,

Me neither but basic fueatures are already better in idea than YouTube app

Not_Alec_Baldwin,

This is his approach to IP broadly speaking, I believe.

Edit for clarity:

If you can’t effectively try something without paying, pirate it and pay if you want to and can support it.

It’s a goodwill model.

Phazei,

On Android it’s simple, patched with YouTube ReVanced Manager

greenmarty,

I understand but app allows you to move from YouTube entirely if your fav content created release videos else where and in the future to support creators directly.

This pop up, did more to curb my youtube addiction than any other app.

lastrogue,

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

khorak,

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,

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.

Open the extension settings, purge the filter lists and then update them all. I was getting warnings and I did this, and I haven’t had any further warnings.

Currently with Firefox uBlock and am getting no pop-ups for three days now (this after pop-up nags with a five-second delay).

Not saying you are not having trouble, but I think this is a fight YouTube is going to lose.

31337,

I think they are A/B testing to see how people react. I have gotten pop-ups and my coworker wasn’t getting them while having the same IP address. I haven’t gotten the “x videos left” popup yet. I think it’d be pretty easy for youtube to make ad blocking very hard; they’re just testing the waters right now.

Luisp,

What happen if you simply use opera or brave? The default anti tracking functionality normally triggers these protections, it blocks you just for browsing a certain browser? Without even having any adblock plugin

fushi01,
@fushi01@lemmy.world avatar

So far, opera, firefox, vivaldi brave’s ad blockers both with ublock origin have been blocking ads without getting any popup for me.

MossyFeathers,

Start reporting it as an issue. I wonder what’ll happen if enough people abuse the “report an issue” system.

Zacryon,

They’ll probably be ignored for abusing the report system.

doc1429,

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

Aatube,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

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.

Do you need to be signed in to Youtube to get this?

I don’t sign in to Youtube and I haven’t get any of this so maybe it only shows up when you’re signed in?
