"Ad Blockers Are Not Allowed on YouTube" warning showing up now

Basically they are saying "You are too dumb to make profitable decisions, so we'll do it for you." They just use less insulting words for that.

So pretty much now they're automatically generated asusuming by what Google makes for you and the consumer watching the vids?

This on top of blocking out ad blockers. This is worse than the dislike button.

Never heard of YT Redux but knowing about it is good, thanks.

This "war" Google has decided to go forth win is just a losing battle because it'll just make people even more eager to use adblockers and find ways to block their ads. It's like they don't know how the internet works.

It is also like telling people not to look up ____, and then they do.

I think I have already said this, but if I not, there will never be na existence where something won't get circumvented, cause if so, then it'll lead to some form of lawsuits or something. The PS3 was the best unhackable device until people have found a software explot.

Oh they've been doing this for over a year now. They must have updated it so your adblocker doesn't stop it anymore. No issues here on Ublock.

Told you it'd happen.

Just update uBlock Origin and disable YT Enhancer, then it works again.

 

[DJPlace]

where is this YT Enhancer? also i'm going try what

YT Extender is a addon.

Not using Ublock Origin is moronic... it's the only gang that really care what they do.

Louis Rossmann recently put out a video about an app called GrayJay that is basically YouTube Vanced /ReVanced on steroids.

Naturally, the video was removed for "violating youtube's community guidelines".

I guess one of the guidelines is "don't tell people how to avoid our ads."

Anyway, GrayJay: https://grayjay.app/

Plugins for individual video hosts: https://plugins.grayjay.app/

GrayJay looks great, and if I watched YouTube on anything other than my smart TV I'd probably already be using it... but, like I said, I only really watch YT on my TV, and Smart Tube Next performs superbly on my setup.

I don't even know what to rely on at this point, there are so many alternatives that it's confusing to tell which one is definitive or not.

Thanks - I've fixed the hyperlink in my post. I should've checked rather than just googling and copying the first link that cropped up.

Try not to have multiple adblockers up at the same time. One can be fine with bypassing Youtube anti-adblocker, while the other can trigger it, thus making you think both are being detected. I only use ublock origin, and it works fine.

They update their "adblock detector" twice a day. I'm surprise that Ublock Origin haven't used a wildcard mark or such yet for it, but I digress. I'm not a programmer.

I've yet to see this pop-up, though I tend to frequent smaller channels. I'll browse YouTube with Firefox, Chrome, or Edge with uBlock Origin as my only content blocker. I use the filter recommendations found at the following:

You can also grab more filters here, though it is not necessary, recommended, nor encouraged to subscribe to every list: https://filterlists.com
