You guys watch ads on YouTube? When YT gets the better of UblockO for a couple days, I just open the YT homepage, see which of the regular channels I check out have new videos or I look through my recommended and then I open piped or yewtu.be. Fuck YT. I refuse to watch ads. When I open a YT link through lemmy, I’ll close the window immediately if an ad starts playing. Fuck these companies.

I have ad blocker at the router level, but I often toggle it off when it interrupts marketing experiences that I need to see for work.

May I ask what you are using for a blocker?
