I had completely forgotten about their war on adblockers. Haven’t had to play with uBlock for months.
Google-owned YouTube succeeded in shutting down the popular third-party YouTube Vanced app back in 2022
And 4 seconds later an alternative appeared.
Well they’ve shut down revanced for good apparently. I can’t make it load videos anymore. I used to be able to just reinstall and fix it, but it can’t be fixed anymore.
Nope, fixed with newest update
Working fine my friend.
“this might have been a bug”
that or they didn’t like the PR so they reverted it till later
How many Youtube employees would be assigned to frontend/adblock sabotage efforts? I’m wondering whether the law of diminishing returns will be observed, or will the company have sufficient resources to maintain the shenanigans indefinitely.
If it’s the latter, Youtube can rest assured my resolve will match theirs, until the damned thing gets paywalled…
It would be so interesting to see how the internet reacts to YouTube going paywalled. It would probably kill a lot of YT creators’ revenue and views.
Or maybe people would pay for it, idk. Do people spend more time on YouTube than they do Disney+ or Hulu or Netflix, given YT Premium’s cost?
I’m yet to see literally any of these things while using UBO, I almost feel like I’m being gaslighted at times.
