Haven't had any issues either with uBlock, even on chrome.
Wondering if my vpn has to do with it cause it does come with an ad/trackerblocker too.

There's already a new blocker out that doesn't actually "block" ads but lets them load and skips them so fast you may see like 1 millisecond of them. Technically a win/win since they still count as seen.

It's been giving me issues. It's one of the reasons I don't use Chrome anymore.

Google is rich enough that they are going to hire a goon holding a hammer, to stand in the home of every person on planet. So that if you don't watch their ads, you get a hammer to the noggin.

uBlock Origin > the built-in Brave ad blocker (granted the latter is forked from the former and is nearly identical in functionality)

LOL. Even if it happens, it won't take long for Brave's counterattack. I'm not worried one bit. YouTube/Google can't win in the long run.

Because it's easy and blocks all ads.

I know the creator is a crypto goob but it's a small price to pay for convenience.

Would this new add blocker happen to have a name?

No matter how they try to work these ads into the system, there will be a way to stop the function from working. Legal precedent also protects ad blockers since the user has every right to decide what does and doesn't get loaded into their device at any given time.

If youtube gets really crazy with this, won't it hurt content creators by giving them less views?

It probably won't be that big of a difference. There will definitely be people who just quit using YouTube over this, but I expect it to be just a drop in the bucket. The average person who watches a lot of YouTube will find it annoying but still use it.

Most people who watch YouTube wont quit even if they are forced to watch ads. Its because theres no viable alternative to YouTube. Its just the facts.

i wont stop adblocking for as long as I can get away with it. But dont pretend like YouTube subscription isnt a scam when they monetise features developed for free by your web browser/OS devs

I've noticed that on my phone (where I use the app and I'm too lazy to mess with adblockers) I've been seeing a lot of YouTube Premium ads. They're really trying to push people into that bottleneck and force them to subscribe.

Ain't gonna get me, not a chance.

Please elaborate how it sucks booty. Ive been using it for like a year or so and have had zero issues with it.

And Im talking about the functionality of the browser itself.

They escalate. First they allow you to just close the popup, then they give you a 5 second timer, then they give you three strikes, and finally they just block video playback entirely.

All you have to do is disable all other adblockers apart from ublock origin, go into the settings, disable any extra/custom filter lists so that only the default 5 are enabled, press "purge all caches" along the top of the "Filter lists" menu, then the "Update Now" button.

If you have the newest version of ublock origin (1.52.2 is the one I have) it should get rid of the popups no worries.

I did all that using UBO on firefox and just got the one that said they will block playback in three videos. Those methods are just a band aid.

I had the one that threatened to block me and I only had one video left. Once I did the process above (disabling all other adblockers, including built-in browser ones) I don't get it anymore.

Youtube is gonna start banning people from the site who use adblock because you're no longer economically viable if they can't use advertisements to get you buy things you don't need.

Both my parents said their YouTube accounts weren't working anymore on 2 PCs (i installed ublock+firefox for them). Only took me a few minutes how to fix though. Just cleared the website cookies, ublock cache, and redownloaded the filter lists/updates. After logging back in, their accounts seem to be working again. My desktop has been using ublock forever and YouTube is still fine for me though.
