So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work.
I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷♂️
They already have plans to DRM the entire fucking web. That’s why I am currently cutting google out of my life step by step.
Yeah, YT is the last holdout for me. It’s literally the only Google service I willingly sign up for. I’ve tried Piped/Invidious, but they don’t match YTs quality.
No problem, quality will continue to degrade, until you will be happy to switch.
Yeah the lack of playlists is an issue
So, give me a heads up if you find a reliably working alternative for their FCM that enables common apps to … work, e.g. mobile payment (not crypto), alarm messaging for emergency forces, e.g. firefighters. I’d say one can easily step back from google if you rely on independent apps and services (done that for a couple of years). But without FCM some shit simply doesn’t work.
