  • I'll stop blocked ads when I stop using their service. Not a minute sooner.

  • What happens if you use SmartTubeNext on a TV? I'm assuming the interface wouldn't support the 3 strike YouTube popup so I guess you'd just get blocked without knowing why?

    I'm guessing ReVanced will support the popup so you'd know.

  • lmao fuck right off Google. there are a million open source alternatives out there that still let me watch videos, nor do I (nor will I) have an account with you clowns.

  • I look forward to the Revanced patch then.

    This pretty much guarantees Chrome will push out Manifest v3 and kill ad-blocking in Chrome, though.

  • If they gave me an API key I'd be allowed use with SmartTubeNext and NewPipe, I'd gladly pay for premium.

    I don't want to use your apps, Google.

  • If they roll this out for everyone I hope they will finally officially introduce YouTube Premium Lite, so I can get ad-free YouTube without paying for YouTube Music.

  • Lol. Guess it's time to add the rest of my subbed channels to YT-DL and ditch their shitty ad-filled site entirely.

  • Let's all click on the link that says 'I feel like I'm falsely flagged' to give them some noise to work with.
