Still on “Restricted Mode”: my opinion is that people are chasing ghosts.
YouTube is doing major damage control everywhere telling people “that’s not it” and I believe them.
They made a lot of changes recently on YouTube including that “anti Adblock” move of theirs and at the same time changed this button to make it more visible.
Based on what anon posted last thread it’s mostly desktop users getting culled meaning it can’t be a setting that applies both to desktop and mobile equally.
I bet it’s their anti adblock blocking everything that comes out of a desktop other than what uses their new Chrome
