youtube recommendations don't only show videos from channels you're subscribed to, adblock or not. but yeah I had no idea that they slipped in "sponsored" videos into the recs now, though I'm not at all surprised
now that I'm looking at my page I can see blank spaces in my recommendation grid, I guess those are all the ads I'm not seeing lol
why would i not want to see such glorious slop on my screen?
Sadly I'm on chrome and ublock only does so much, I still get shit as seen here.
Stop using chrome
I'm on FF and YouTube's anti-adblock has made it basically impossible to use with uBlock, even leaving the adblock turned off I'm still hit with the anti-adblock message several times a day.
That shouldn't happen, even on the main Firefox. Go to UBlock and update filter lists.
really? I use floorp which is also basically firefox and I don't have any issues with uBlock/YouTube
Using Ecosia and just switched to Floorp a few days ago and both did not give an issue with Ublock, Privact Badger and Decenteraleyes
Here's a uBlock filter I used for a long time that helped with that. It should still work. The caveat is that it broke certain features, like anything that opened a pseudo-popup (for lack of a better phrase), such as adding thing to a playlist, unsubscribe confirmations, the share popup, etc. Not sure how to make this all one single code block, so excuse the messy formatting.

Get Freetube, automatically blocks adds.
Freetube recently had a major bug is it back yet?
Yeah there's a new version available.
nice. at least i have an option if uBlock + firefox stops being effective again
