    They have been pushing adblock detecting technologies in some regions. I’m preparing for having to stop using Youtube when they roll it out here.

      Here in Austria I get the anti adblocker message every single time I visit so I don’t care much anymore and just dropped it. I’m rather watching shows now lol

      Luckily Libretube and Piped still work so I haven’t had to visit the normal Youtube site in ages, I do know Youtube increased their aggression towards third party frontends too tho so we will see how long the Newpipe extractor will work I guess!

      I don’t think you’ll be losing out on much. Their algorithm has gone to shit recently and finding anything new has become a chore.

        I’ve never had history on so their algorithm has always been ass for me. Just depended on subs.
