Youtube's Ad-Chaos (Updted 2023.X.14.)
2 years ago
General
I had a system going on: I use adblocker on my PC to watch youtube videos, enjoy music etc, but when I am out, on my phone I allowed adverts since they were short and mainly only in the beginning of the video. Basically, I supported creators, whenever I was on my mobile, be it network or wi-fi...
*sigh* Not anymore. Youtube stepped on my non existing balls as well...No more videos for me! Thank you NOT, u2b!
Well...I gotta fix this little Reality Error now as well, do I??? Seems like it.
Ad-Free Solution 1: Just open the video and ad nsfw after the www. part. This will take you on another site which will play the video for you no problem.
Ad-Free Solution 2: Log off from youtube! Adverts are only affecting USERS so if you aren't logged in you won't get any ads. Use the 'nsfw'-trick for anything that would need you to be logged in!
Ad-Free Solution 3: Seems like it's affecting Chormium based browsers, so Firefox (and other less used browers) MIGHT be unaffected so far...
No commenting for/from me on u2b until I find a solution, that lets me return to the norm. Any suggestions?
[Edit 2023.X.10.] UBlock Origin extension can deal with the adblocker blocker.
1. Install UBO.
2. Add these scripts:
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)
youtube.com##+js(json-prune, auxiliaryUi.messageRenderers.enforcementMessageViewModel)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.auxiliaryUi.messageRenderers.enforcementMessageViewModel, undefined)
youtube.com#$##cinematics.ytd-watch-flexy{display:none}
3. Log off u2b!
4. Empty web browser cache! (Save your passwords before as this logs you out from websites!)
5. Log back in (everywhere) u2b!
6. Enjoy life as usual!
[Edit 2023.X.14.] UBlock Origin and the scripts above works as of yet and are ENOUGH ON THEIR OWN, BUTT...but if you have additional extensions (like youtube enhancer) they may also have adblocking features, that needs to be turned off. If not, then youtube will detect those and hit you with the error!
K.D.

Now I only need to somehow unf*ck my Opera GX...
I use "revanced" on my mobile, which I highly recommend.
As you have said, I rarely see any TV anymore, because ads, and recently, CENSOR in prime time, as in CORRECTING language stuff like slurs and swearing (Keep the change you
filthy animalscum!) and also cutting out "brutality" like Jackie Chan getting hit...which is like His movies bread and butter. "Watch TV late"~ I thought, and then encountered some censors even there, as they try to rewrite movies for everyone to be more Correct. "F" THAT! I just avoid it as much as I can. I only have cable, cuz I usually babysit some kids for a few hours and they need cartons to drool after.I can confirm it's very likely Chrome, I switched to Opera GX and logged into my account - and I can watch videos again. I see corner banner adverts now, which I can live with, but I don't see precum and mid-roll adverts on YT videos.
Basically, just download UBlock Origin and add some (now-working) scripts, empty cache of the browser AFTER you log off u2b. Log in into every webpage you use (good to know your passwords!!!!) and it works. I'll copy/paste the scripts above. Reddit got us covered. Power to the people!
