Fuck you google you pieces of shit
Loving our replybot giving us instance links.
I dunno man, that shit smacks of redditor vibes IMO.
How so?
Redditors writing bots to make reddit more reddit. This website is already just reddit junior, it doesnt need more reddit, IMO.
Im probably just being boomer brained but i get big reddit vibes from the bots that interact with people.
I do hate clicking on something with only one reply and the reply is a bot.

Well maybe one day Lemmy will automatically provide us alternative links, but for now I’m appreciating it. Even opening up vids in incognito contributes to how YouTube serves your IP recommendations and there’s slop I’d just rather not have to worry about being associated with.
Also, you know you can turn off bots in your settings, right?
That’s beyond lemmy’s scope, though I suppose a client could do it. Bots are just fine
The enshittification is complete. The era of peertube/invidious/piped has begun!
honestly youtubers have a gazillion social media handles nowadays so it’s not even worth having an account.
keep updating the “quick fixes” list in ublock, they’re consistently outpacing youtube for me
i think it’s only me who hasn’t seen an ad on youtube yet. i haven’t even done anything special afaik?
it finally defeated my adblocker and hit me with the “enable ads or pay me” mother fucker, I’ll pay your headquarters a visit why don’t I
just curious bc i also haven’t had a problem, what browser/ad blocker are you using?
Firefox, I had 3 going but when I disabled the other 2 and just left Ublock origin it started blocking it again, so I guess they fight each other
ah yea that makes sense, thanks for the info!
I also haven’t experienced any adblocker failures on youtube yet, with firefox & ublock origin.
I just started getting the notices on my incognito windows, but not my regular views.🤷♂️
So far my adblocker is winning, I got a few times where the video froze and the audio kept going, but even that seems to have stopped for now.
I like how the guys programming the Firefox ad blocker extension are racing to outrun Youtube and sometimes overtaking them.

My adblocker still works

For now.
I just open youtube links in a private/incognito window now
Also using firefox and ublock. It hasn’t gotten me yet, but I’m dreading the day because it’s seemingly being rolled out to more and more people everyday.
They’re doing it so slowly to limit the number of people they piss off at once. By the time the last batches of users get the rollout, the first batches will have already burnt out being extremely angry about it.
Can always just download the videos
