    I’ve been using youtube on Firefox with ublock since the premium price raise. Even on android. The experience is not great, but that makes sure I don’t have ads at all.

    Also discovered unhooked addon yesterday. Is desktop only, but great for going into less youtube rabbit holes that waste my time.

          Howso? You think even in the event this wasn’t being scraped, that there isn’t a single dev from YouTube, or a YouTube adjacent team possibly here?

          There’s a large (relative) tech worker user base on Lemmy.

            It was a joke.

            And I think they are very much aware of uBlock. Unhooked got recommended to me by a Youtube video.

            They know.

            If they’re going to find it on lemmy they’re going to find it anywhere. Also, they already know about ublock origin, and its unlikely they’d even care about unhooked, since it doesn’t block ads.

                Not a remotely relevant comparison, and even if it was, completely ignores my second point.

                  If you suck at critical thinking sure

                  Edit I’m not obligated to address every point, this aint debate club
