ublock origin still works
Also, AFAIK, configuring NoScript and only allowing youtube and ytimg to load works.
on android too if you have firefox
Firefox + uBlockOrigin
Any browser + uBlockOrigin
Any non-chromium browser + uBlockOrigin
Aye now we’re talking
RIP Vivaldi then 🥲
Ad blockers work fine, what do you mean? Youtube lost, their next big idea wont even try kicking in until next year.
As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don’t use it with any other adblockers.
Also if you’re using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.
Ad blockers do still work on YouTube if you switch to Firefox. Aternatiely you ca n try out some 3rd party YouTube front end websites like invidious and piped. Just try out a few different instances each are a little different and some may work better than others.
I personally like vid.puffyan.us for invidious and piped.video for piped.
There is also the app FreeTube for desktops as well.
And Newpipe + Sponsor Block for phones. Downside is there are no playlists. Upside no ads or sponsor nonsense and you can download.
You don’t.
You’ll take whatever cock daddy capitalism shoves down your throat and you’ll damn well like it.
Or use an adblocker.
Soooooo I’m liking option B).
Capitalism is supposed to give consumers choice. It could help if consumers used a greater variety of video sites, eg. Dailymotion or that weird chinese thing BiliBili. If they keep focusing on Youtube, despite all that bullshit, they are basically begging for more bullshit.
You have a choice. Use their service with the shitty ads or find something else to do.
It sucks, but that’s what you’ve got.
god i wish it were that easy
Capitalism is supposed to give consumers choice.
Nah that’s just propaganda, capitalism is supposed to be efficient and make profits, but tends towards monopolies over time.
User choice comes ONLY from regulation preventing monopolies and dishonest practices.

Reporting the ad does not make it disappear. I still get that fucking epoch times trans-hate ad all the time.
I’ve reported it about a dozen times so far.

Worked perfectly! Thanks!
Just use newpipe or something similar. I haven’t used the actual YouTube app in years there’s literally no reason to
Here’s a creative way to do it.
- Print out the downvote symbol and a screenshot of the ad.
- Dip the paper in dog shit to emphasize that the ad is a shitpost.
- Send it to 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043.
- ???
- Profit.
the ad center in your account would be where you would tweak what kind of ads you get.

Its not possible to “downvote” ads but you can still block them by using ublock origin on firefox
You can affect the ads by finding normal ads around the internet (served by Google) and telling Google what is and isn’t relevant to you.
However, Google seems to allow advertisers to lie and game their system. Ie PragerU will advertise some “trans is bad” “children’s book” schlock, labeled as “video games.”
When you’re already sucking it up and trying to fairly engage with Google, it’s disheartening to see they don’t even pay attention to what they serve people.
So this comment kind of misunderstands how the Google ad system works for youtube.
When you click on a video, Google presents you, and the video you are watching (with categories associated with you and the video) to an auction. Advertisers then bid on your view, and whoever has the highest bid wins, you see their ad. This is all automated and happens in the blink of an eye, but that’s the basic system.
This means that parties that want to show ads to you will get to, no matter your preferences.
This is for the interstitials right? It’s a separate system than the ones on the side?
Edit: I just went off this: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7403255?hl=en
It sounds like they’re talking about ads in the video.
Knocking on wood, but at the moment ublock origin+ firefox still do the trick ? Well get the warning twice sine they start fighting adblocker, so it may change at some point.
But indeed, I should use youtube less, I pay for spotify, but sometimes use as a source for music, I tend to then fall on clickbaits video especially when cooking.
adblocks works source: me using firefox and ublock origin, i only got the “we detect you are using adblock” message two times, and it was a month ago(also revanced on android)
