Turns out Jews are aliens directing the Democratic Party and Hollywood to sacrifice babies for adrenochrome. Why is the lamestream media not talking about this???

The whole idea that it violates the terms of service of a company to not let them show things on my screen without my consent is insane. It's like if every time you went to the grocery store, the employees held you down and force fed you a free sample, then banned you from the store when you started running away from them.

I’m imagining a future where you’re not allowed to mute broadcast commercials
I mean they already show ads when you pause. It's just a tiny jump further to play video ads when you pause.

Haven't got this yet.
I always wonder what part of the world those who do are in. Cuz I get the feeling YouTube is only doing this shit in certain regions. Or if it's just a hiccup with the adblocker itself, because it was shown pretty early on when these reports first started being posted that it was an issue with AdBlock Plus as well as there being workarounds for uBlock Origin due to some buggy Firefox updates.

i use ublock origin
reddit still good for something: Filter Lists-->uBlock filters-->uncheck the "ublock filters - quickfixes" box and then reload the page.
this worked for me

What's the Fediverse YouTube? ooof. that's a tough nut.
No one understands the astronomical bandwidth, CPU/GPU intensive calcs, and data storage necessities required to do anything close to what YouTube currently does.
There is no way under this warm sun that a fediverse version of YouTube will ever be feasible, unless someone like literally yourself is willing to pay extraordinary high amounts of money for all the required infrastructure and daily maintenance to run it.
I would want to see some data on costs, because I think you might be overselling the difficulty and cost a bit (I don't actually know, just my good faith belief). Imagine if every content creator ran their own instance. Instead of needing to worry about every user coming to a single group of servers, the Creator only needs to worry about the cost of hosting their own content and the traffic they get.
With the number of YouTubers who have to get sponsorships and Patreon anyway, it doesn't really seem that infeasible or unreasonable to expect content creators to run their own thing or pay to have someone else to do it. Doesn't seem like the YouTube money is that lucrative, anymore, so not like it would be all that different, either.

Monetization. Tumbleweed content-wise. Some content producers make content for money.
Media reach: Content is stored, where the consumers look for it.

Peertube, but it's really not nearly the replacement lemmy or mastodon are.
Yet. It's still very new, and as enshittification increases, so will federated development.

I just got the same warning on FF with uBlock. Both Freetube and NewPipe seem to be fine though. I guess Freetube it is until uBlock is patched.
Edit: Also, glad I'm not the only human watching Grossi's videos today lol.
Freetube ftw
I just checked a bunch of random videos, ff with uBlock, none of them displayed this message.
