Hit by Youtube's AdBlocker detection. Help needed.

That or they saw that the majority of people who block ads are just willing to say "Fuck it" and figure out a work around or go somewhere else.

They're certainly not going spend the money to un-fuck the search, because interrupting your search results to bring you completely unrelated stuff somehow brings them money. Plus, Google's own search engine has been bastardized to hell because of SEO pushes and advertising slots, and the company would be loathe to fix it to appease the non-paying customer base.

I hate how banners such as those evade UBlock, even before this whole adblock detection thing. I block it, and if I refresh the page, the banner comes back even though the filter's still in place.

Anyway, I haven't personally seen one of those pop-ups yelling at me for using an ad block yet (thank goodness), but my friend's already gotten two strikes and has to basically browse YouTube on a private browser session. I'm not sure if YouTube will actually delete anything more than a YouTube account if one manages to hit all three strikes. I'm cynical enough to believe Google will eventually threaten the complete deletion of Google-related services (gmail, drive, etc. accounts) if a person keeps using an adblocker regardless of the adblock strikes on their account.

I got one yesterday but it went away, no strikes. There's an option to tell them if something is wrong, I would love for them to accidentally hit people with no adblocker.

Netflix handled their password-sharing thing much better - they sent a friendly sounding email and offered to make the new paid account at a discount. Youtube isn't even behind a paywall and they're coming off angry and will probably just annoy users into not paying them.

"Natural hair community". I'm confused, isn't everyone's hair "natural"? Or is this just code for black people hair?

Specifically black people's hair. It has something to do with black people feeling that they must make their hair look like white peoples' due to beauty standards, and so will straighten their hair, do chemical treatments, etc. Other black women will accuse other black women of being white if the other black women straighten/treat their hair, even if they're doing it for their own reasons. The reasoning is stupid.

Imported passes extensions etc. to Brave, literaly quo ante status.

I've only been hit by messages on Firefox so far. For some retarded reason I only had Ghostery installed, nothing else. That was apparently enough.

I tried this and it is working, at least so far. Removed Ghostery, installed U Block Origin, etc. Probably one of those things that'll work until it doesn't. 🤷‍♂️ But for the moment, I seem to be good.

YSK: New method to bypass youtube's ad blocker detection / https://archive.ph/EWQos

Why YSK: To not waste time on advertisements

As you probably know youtube has a new method to "detect" the usage of adblockers. And since everyone wants to waste their time on videos and not on advertisements, follow these steps to go around youtube's new method and use adblocker.


Step 1: Turn off all browser extensions (which are related to adblocking and/or youtube) and remove (or disable) any ad blockers. After that restart your browser.

Step 2: Install the browser extension ublock origin.

Step 3: Go to ublock settings interface

Step 4: Click on the tab "My Filters"

Step 5: Copy and paste the following code and save the changes.

youtube.com##+js(set,yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)


Step 6: Restart your browser and enjoy ad free youtube.

Extra notes:

If this doesn't work try the following:

Uninstall ublock and reinstall.Check for interfering extensions (youtube enhancers / adblockers)Empty cache


Enjoy :)

I do use Brave sometimes, will be interesting to see if you have to mess with their shields to get this to work, if it continues to work.

I'm not allowed to edit this post now, otherwise I'd have done that. Anyhow, the method described here appears to have stopped working at least on Firefox. Got the dreaded "three videos" message.
 
Switching accounts on YT while having UblockOrigin seems to work for me.

I make some money off of YT, i haven't uploaded anything for months, but my ad revenue went up, not complaining about that, but is absolutely nigger tier to do this to your customer base. this should be unacceptable for the viewers as a principle, but most normies are so brain rotten with consumerism that a significant portion of them, (probably the majority) don't even know that Adblockers are even a thing. I just had to teach my 25 year old coworker what adblockers are just last week.

I really hope this turns into some hellish mistake where Google (sorry for deadnaming you alphabxt) punishes users with account deletion or even suspension of all google services, the death of Google can't come sooner and that will really be huge nail in their coffin.

The only way to do that would be to encode it directly into the video file/stream, at random times for each video. That would complicate the delivery of a variety of ads. In order to serve ads the way their business model dictates, they have to do it the way they have been doing it, any other way (such as encoding it directly into the stream before showing it) would increase overhead and latency.

Specifically it was a trend to get relaxers which uses a lot of harsh chemicals to straighten the hair. You must also continue getting the relaxers.
If/when you decide to go 'natural' you have to properly treat/wrap your hair as it grows to avoid all the straightened hair from just falling off the curly hair. Then once your natural hair is long enough the relaxed hair gets chopped off. Natural hair is still a beast to take care of though, lots of conditioners and braiding styles to make it actually look/feel good. I believe but won't bother to look up that different curl patterns have better ways to take care of them. It's not a bad segment of youtube but I find it odd that it's being advertised. I imagine anyone that wants that knowledge knows it exists and the ad won't help expose any new people.
