    They have been pushing adblock detecting technologies in some regions. I’m preparing for having to stop using Youtube when they roll it out here.

      Here in Austria I get the anti adblocker message every single time I visit so I don’t care much anymore and just dropped it. I’m rather watching shows now lol

        What adblocker are you using? I’m also in Austria but haven’t got it

      Luckily Libretube and Piped still work so I haven’t had to visit the normal Youtube site in ages, I do know Youtube increased their aggression towards third party frontends too tho so we will see how long the Newpipe extractor will work I guess!

      I don’t think you’ll be losing out on much. Their algorithm has gone to shit recently and finding anything new has become a chore.

        I’ve never had history on so their algorithm has always been ass for me. Just depended on subs.
