youtube.com##+js(set,yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set,Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set,ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set,Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)Here it is in text format so ya'll don't have to type it out. I haven't verified that it works but by the looks of it it just makes the Adblock sensor report a false negative. [edit, fixed some spacings that sneaked it's way into the filter upon copying it earlier.]

mpv is not a crime!

I already have enough content to watch between Peertube and Odysee. Youtube is dead to me.
-
PeerTube's turn now :)

I'm sure there's a way to get around it, and if there isn't, then I just won't be using YouTube anymore. I survived before it existed. I'm getting tired of these companies' bullshit.

The one thing the Reddit exodus has taught me, is that I'm almost eager for a reason to ditch my social media and either find something new or simply take back that time and do something more fulfilling anyway.
I'm so much happier not being constantly blasted with advertisements, that now when I have to go back on insta or FB for whatever reason, I can't stand more than 30 seconds before I nope back off.
Looking forward to axing YouTube from my life next.

Youtube is a prime example of why monopolies are bad
-
Decentralize! FEDERATE EVERYTHING!

As much as I dislike ads, "Company wants to make revenue from its product" is not a prime example of why monopolies are bad.
-
Youtube has done a lot more bad shit than push ads everywhere

Lemmy youtube when?

Right now the #1 alternative is Odysee. While Odysee itself is a centralized company its just as open sourced front end for the decentralized LBRY block chain.
As of now Odysee has far more videos, features, and download speeds then any other YouTube alternative.
If you're interested in supporting an alternative I reccomend downloading the "watch on odysee" extension which redirects YouTube videos that areavailible on Odysee, to Odysee. (Firefox) (Chrome)

Odysee is a right wing cesspool with no moderation: https://thelinuxexp.com/Im-leaving-odysee/

Youtube is much harder to migrate from. It has a loooot of data. Where else can I upgrade 60 minutes of 4k gopro footage for free?

What absolute wankers! In case anyone's adblock goes south, here are some YouTube alternatives:
For Watching YouTube
For Uploading
For Android:
Newpipe or Tubular (Newpipe X Sponsorblock fork)
VueTube (still under development, the team is working slow because it's pretty small, they have a few time to spend on it and they need devs, it's a complete FOSS alternative to Vanced, and will have most of its features including optional Google log in with interactions)
If you need to login and have a full YouTube experience: Revancedapp
LibreTube is very good as well.
