If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.

Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.

What is the official reason here for removing it?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Its against YouTube's TOS to download content, and to block advertisements. Another lesser known, and less enforced part of the TOS also covers content instructing how to download content and block ads. I'm pretty sure that's the reason YouTube took it down at least.

On another note, huge props to Linus for teaching how to block ads on channel and company, with a hundred mouths to feed, majorly funded by advertisments. I know he caught a lot of shit before with gamer nexus, but they deserve props for this.

Didn't he say that using adblockers in YouTube was basically piracy?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Yes, and that he does it as well.

He is a big proponent of piracy.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

he did, but didn't condemn it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago

Yes, he also said that piracy can be a personal choice, and showed how to do it.
