    Fully blocking only if you aren’t using uBlock Origin, which you just have to update the filters on.

    Complete waste of effort.

    Alphabet needs to be broken up.

    The two worst things that ever happened to YouTube were monetized content and Google buying it. It hasn’t even been very fun to browse YouTube since like 2010.

      Like …the top channels were normal people.

        Someone like FRED was on top at one point. Which is insane looking back on it. All it took was running around being obnoxious with a high pitched voice to be the largest channel on YouTube back then.

    fully blocking ad blockers

    One of those two has to be false, because I’m still not seeing any anti-adblocker measures on my end.
