This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Great... Fewer humans and even more bots in the comments... That's a genius idea.
I realised a lot of my yt usage was for having something playing in the background. I've been listening to more podcasts and audiobooks instead and it's been pretty easy to cut back.

So I can still watch the video, just not read the comments that I never read anyway, and can't click the "link in the description ", which hurts creators way more than it hurts me.

There is no fucking way in hell I'll ever a) watch ads b) pay for Youtube Premium. They created this monopoly with no alternative option and now we're suppose to just get fucked while they get even more obscenely rich beyond all tasteful levels. Yeah, I don't think so. And given how I ditched everything Google, if it ever comes to it, I'll ditch Youtube too. It's basically the only thing I still even use from Google because there's just no alternative.
Meh. My ad blocking strategy on my phone and desktop still works fine. I use Morphe (formerly Revanced), uBlock Origin on Firefox and AdGuard on my android phone.
No ads. No problem.
What is morphe? What happened to revanced?
AdBlocker for YouTube works.
Couple days ago I had to install it on top of uBlock Origin on friend's pc, since the latter stopped working on YouTube. Be sure to disable uBlock on YouTube.
Is there anything wrong with Nebula? Or is the issue that it acts more like a supplemental streaming service rather than a primary one? It seems like between peertube and nebula creators really could shift their user base to other systems if they worked together to bring attention to the matter as part of an organized campaign against Google.
I still haven't seen a youtube ad in years... ho hum..
PipePipe on degoogled android lol

I'm not lowering my security for Google.
