What is it about the line " Billy, Noo!" that always kills me?! Its so stupid but it fills me with joy when I hear it or read it.

Got adblock and yt premium, that way the creators I watch still benefit

Also especially if you get a family plan and split the cost it's really not too bad, £5 a month seems pretty reasonable to me for yt plus music

Ironically this Meme is an AdBlock Plus advertisement.

I Recommend ...uMatrix and uBlock origin

uMatrix

I used uBlock origin and have for years but I've never heard of uMatrix. I see from the description kind of what it does, but what's the benefit here?

Adblock plus takes money to whitelist ads, do not give them single cent.

Get F-Droid, and go use NewPipe. Export your subscriptions from YouTube and load them into NewPipe. Problem solved.

AdGuard on iPhone was the best purchase I ever made. Combined with baking soda and vinegar - perfect

Does any ad blocker actually block YouTube ads? Origin doesn’t appear to be effective for me. Any advice is appreciated.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 3 points 17 hours ago

Depends on the type of ad. The new ones that YouTube injects into the video stream would not be blockable. Everything else is blocked just fine.

Unfortunately security at work just shut down all use of Firefox, and I was using YouTube enhancer. Forced to using Edge now.

Non work FF4lyfe and no issue, but I’ve always had to use more than just ublock origin.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 60 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Which browser are you using? Firefox with ublock origin blocks every ad for me. I havent seen one on youtube in years.

If u are using chrome, then that is the issue.

The dad is correct here; AdBlock Plus is corporatized, and uBlock Origin is the better option hands-down in every capacity.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Dad is supporting Youtube Premium though, even more corporatized

I remember when ABP started whitelisting ads as part of some twisted business model. I switched to uBlock so fast and haven't looked back.

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

They did. If I remember right it actually started with them kissing the Google ring first.

This is an ad in itself. Hilarious.

But if you pay for YouTube premium you won't have ads... for the first couple of years until they corner the market, and change the terms of services several times to maximize profits. uBlock and donating to open source FTW. shout out to yt-dlp

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Also ad lock blocks ads on all of the platforms you use. YouTube plus just removed them from YouTube.... I ain't paying 20 different places for ad free use when they charge like $15+ each, maybe if it were $1 each for nah they are all greedy.

I'd happily pay for YouTube if they didn't want such a ridiculous price for it.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

I'd happily pay for Youtube if they stopped tracking me

[–] Pechente@feddit.org 11 points 11 hours ago

It used to be like 3€ without music bundled into it. I don’t want Music. Give me that plan back.
