Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work (lemmy.ml)

Revanced hasn't stopped working for me and I don't even bother updating.

Hell, I'm still using the original Vanced. No clue how it's managed to escape death for all of these months, but I'm not complaining

Whaaaaat?? That stopped working for me ages ago!

My guess is that it has something to do with my YouTube Premium subscription never triggering Google's anti-adblock software, which means the app was never flagged for a soft lock.

I use Vanced for the SponsorBlock, increased default play speed, background payback, and other assorted tweaks rather than for the ad blocking, but blocking ads will definitely jump to the top of my list if my "Google Play Family" ever stops paying for premium. At which point I guess I'll migrate to GrayJay?
