YouTube rolling out new Anti-Adblock measures
If YouTube detects that an Adblock is installed on your PCs browser it will now block all video playback with "Error Code 4" or "Error Code 0". The only way to fix video playback is to fully uninstall the adblocker. This affects all browsers not just chrome. Ad free mobile YouTube forks still work normally for now.

Introducing friction to watching YouTube means fewer ad views, so less ad revenue overall. Plus that doesn't fight adblocking since logged in users also use adblock. Literal lose-lose business decision.

I had the same error a few days ago.
I have 3 adblockers installed: adblockplus, Umatrix and Ublock Origin on Librewolf. Videos played just fine on Youtube itself but embed links used for post or videos posted like gematsu had all Error Code 0. Turned out ONLY Umatrix was the problem, by fully disable it everything played just fine. I waited a few hours and update my filters and now all 3 blockers work normally.
Someone reported it was caused by some personal script, don't know what to say..

I'm using UBlock Origin on Firefox and everything is fine, now the youtube login I blocked because I don't want that distracting red thing when I'm not watching full screen, came back a few times but that's it.

To support creators I do watch videos on Chrome where I had no AdBlock as well, and I let the hour long ads play out since I mostly use youtube like TV when I'm doing chores.I mostly doing that a month or two ago because youtube started AI translate dubbing some cooking video I was watching to Japanese! This issue resolved sometimes after I closed chrome and kept it closed -- when I was letting their ads play on chrome they decide to randomly guess what language I must really speak and autodub over stuff I watch, lizard rapists at Youtube don't understand there are people fluent in multiple languages and//or prefer subtitle to dub because they prefer OG audio.

>>106197702
I can live without youtube because there are other sites, even non-pirate specific ones like DailyMotion, or Vimeo you have better chances of finding movies, music videos with swearwors, and horror movie or news clips not blocked behind age restriction sign-in. Whenver youtube is especially goblins, I watch Tubi with ads n Chrome, I KNOW Google is monitoring which sites people go to through Chrome, let them note the money another site is making when they are being goblins

There is too much AI Slop, first it was fake news, especially celeb gossip, then creepypastas, and now ASMR!

Youtube mistreat horror creators and failed to work with ASMR channels on ads that are non-disruptive and relevant to viewers. With ASMR, a lot of creators don't bother with youtube ads and smartly partnered with sponsors that are relevant and non-disruptive, like spas, vacations, self-care products

i used blocktube to get rid of a lot of that shit. depending on what country/language, it's the same slop for everyone so if you start blocking it all it eventually most of it goes away. what's worse of all is people using ai thumbnails to lure people into watching clickbait trash. anyone that does this has no videos worth watching and are blocked instantly.

you don't seem to know what you're talking about
a DRM solution based on PCR 0,1,7,23 is doable right now, taht's how it works on android and ios, not yet on desktop and it would be retarded as you can easily import your own PK/KEK/DB/DBX to your motherboard which would defy the point of the solution (you can do that on pixel, that's why grapheneOS only support them).
board makers have the microsoft keys/DBs pre-installed (that expire in 2026 btw, don't use them) but taht's it, if they want to ensure the entire root of trust they would have to force board manufacturers to prevent peopel from importing their own keys/DBs and factory flash google ones (they own widevine the most used DRM extension for web browsers).
that's why ARM without UEFI is gaining marketshare, no UEFI no issues, bis repetita of the android non-free market where globohomos sell a product but keep ownership of it.
>we're playing cat and mouse against a rich immortal cat cyborg that becomes strong after every defeat.
and the game would be infinitely more harder if they used DRM.
the only future I see is google replacing linux in android by their own kernel for more control, a total lockdown of bootloader even on pixel and services like youtube refusing access to people on desktop where they can't verify the root of trust (most people watch videos on their smartphones these days)

there is no technical way to prevent people to watch youtube without DRM, the easiest way is to block desktop altogether but I'm not sure it would hold in court especially in the US.

Google has to understand that the more of a pain in the ass they make it to use their platform, the more likely it is people are just going to stop using it? People don't like going out of their way for anything, so making them have to put in extra effort is just going to turn them off entirely.

The issue with this strategy is that the media is supposed to keep the radical placated. If normalfags who use adblock are no longer being placated they will search for other outlets to unleash that anger.
This is something that the neoliberal & oligarchal world order simply do not recognise in the current age. They're in a desperate technological arms race to have automated drones and weaponry to suppress any form of rebellion.

The type of person who has 3 adblockers installed is not a balanced individual. They're playing with fire and should take the money and run.

Fair enough. Still, at least for me videos from content creators on youtube is kind of a different beast from highly produced media like TV shows, movies. Documentaries are a bit more like it but still a different format. I don't know if people can fill that void with those other things, at least I wouldn't be able to. Maybe some individual creators could move to some alternatives.

it is not technically possible to force anyone watch ads. worst case you have software that plays the video in the background and saves it without ads. there's no way unless they go some drm bullshit I suppose, and even then you can record the screen save the video and upload on tor or some shit. they can never fully force you, they can only make it more complicated to avoid the ads that's it

>just uninstall your adblocker already goy!!!!!
No. Works on Firefox. If it stops working I'll put up with Bitchute's slower speed and limited video selection, it's less of a pain than ads. Ads are unbearable. Anyone who makes or posts ads should be burned at the stake, unironically. It should be illegal to use ads.

You're costing them money, why would they want you to use their platform?

Can confirm through multiple accounts and hardware setups that Ublock no longer works. It's a dead project anyway, with Manifest V2 being deprecated months ago. I think it's time we all just accept that we need to watcha few second of advertisements per day, or just buy Youtube Premium. It's honestly worth it.

You niggers have been saying it'll come for me every time something retarded rolls out, but every time it never happens. The most I've had to deal with is 2 iterations of rounded corners, both of which are easily changed.

I'm not even a bravefag but brave literally doesn't have that problem since the adblocker is integrated into it.

Holy shit this is pathetic. Paypigs truly are sad.

Is there a way to put youtube's livestream chat below the video instead of to the side? I have my side monitor in portrait mode and I'm tired of dealing with this shit you see here. Whenever I try to find an answer I only get results for rotating the video itself or some OBS extension for making shorts.

You can pop out the chat window from the three dots menu.

I'd still rather have something akin to the vertical twitch extension, but this is good enough for now.

When the great reset happens can we round up and behead all advertisement related employees. No matter the company or specific aspect of advertising they specialize in, be it writing, advertisement psychology, acting, etc. All should die in a giant fire pit for being demonic and making the world worse.

Can youtubers/ecelebs determine if ads by youtube are allowed on their videos, or is it such that they have no choice in the matter? There is a few youtubers I watch and they never have ads (GIFGAS, Shiey), and im watching from a smart tv with the youtube app on it not signed in and as a guest?

Or Russian VPN, since Google banned the ads for Russians. Somehow It works perfectly even while YouTube In Russia is kinda banned by Russian government.
