Youtube stopped working for me today when using uBlock Origin in Firefox or Vivaldi with anti-ad enabled. (lemmy.world)

It's an interesting situation. YouTube needs us more than we need YouTube.

Unfortunately, that really doesn't seem to be true. YT is a monopoly, they do what they want. None of my friends use Firefox, despite me telling them that ad blockers still work on it. They could spend 3 minutes switching to Firefox and losing some of the niche features they have on Opera GX or whatever they hell they use, or they could just watch the occasional 5-second ad. They just don't care enough. I imagine most users are more than likely like that.
