They want you to watch the unskippable 30second ad so badly they will literally collapse the player architecture

Youtube been doing it a lot, I remember like 2 years ago (damm 2 years already) they gave a screen to people using adblockers and restricted their video player.
But ublock devs were absolute chads

If only there was a web browser with a built in adblock

VPN, set to Albania, no more ads on YouTube.

I just click on the shorts tab until the ad disappears.

I dont care about that, because if im going to have to wait 5 seconds to watch a video, might as well not give money to them.

I’ve noticed this past couple of weeks that it’s been playing videos auto fixed at 480p to limit their bandwidth. Hunny you aren’t ever going to make YouTube profitable no matter how hard you try

Remember when you used to be able to listen to podcasts on YouTube but now if you turn off your phone the video conveniently pauses for you (because that’s what you wanted right???)

Opera GX has an inbuilt blocker, works great with YouTube

YouTube had thier chance, its been nothing but 2 or 3 ads every 3 to 5 mins, and half the time they are hentai related. I dont care how much of a buffer they force into the videos, im not paying for premium
sombertownDS on
It intentionally buffers me even without ad blocker

YouTube really shot themselves in the foot during the adpocalypse. If they had just put their foot down instead of bending the knee things would be much better.

I don’t have an ad blocker and my youtube still buffers 😢

Would people use YouTube if you had to pay for it?

I’d rather stare at a blank screen for 10-30 seconds than watch an ad.

Honestly I didn’t mind the ads until they started doing 2 30 second unskippable ads every 5 minutes. I miss old YouTube when the longest you had to wait ever was 5 seconds

Still surprised there’s no mainstream alternative to YouTube. Seems liklikee a market ripe for competition, I guess asking all the content creators who live off ad revenue to switch isnt going to fly
Old YouTube was amazing where people made shit just to make shit, not caring about monetization

It also does this if you use the built in “block” feature (on most ads hitting “i” there should be a block button) which honestly I’m surprised they haven’t tried to get rid of it

I have YouTube premium and ublock origin but YouTube STILL buffers the hell out of my videos..

You can speed up the adverts by injecting a bit of javascript using a bookmark. Basically put this into the URL field for a bookmark:
Click on the bookmark when a long ad is playing. Once the ad finishes your video goes back to normal speed.

I have YT Premium (yeah yeah, I know, there’s a lot to say about that) but I also have an adblocker and it hasn’t even occurred to me that this is why YT has been buffering like crazy, even though I’m paying for it. Only on my desktop, never on anything else.

WW3 is between YouTube and Ublock origin.
