Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it's looks.

What do you guys think?

The developer and the volunteers of Ublock Origin are very responsive, perhaps you could forward your issues to them.

Many sites aggressively respond to ad blocking, it's cat and mouse.

I don't know if they are active on Lemmy, they certainly were on Spezit
