    Yes, starting getting this with ublock Lite.

    I’ve noticed if you click the button to "make an exception’, and refresh the page, you can watch the video anyway. But it’s possible that their server can record you doing that several times and might eventually suspend you.

        Youtube blocks vpns if you’re not signed in so I need to keep changing my end point until I get an IP they don’t associate with vpns to use those.

    GOOGL knows that to become a long term successful company in a world of 4.50% interest rates, that P/E of 21 and dividend yield of 0.49% are barely cutting it.

    They can no longer push popular platforms like YouTube as a loss leader.

          Yes there is. I’d probably never have found out about variant Sudoku without Cracking the Cryptic. I get valuable rock climbing tips from professional climbers and coaches on YouTube and employ them often successfully in the climbing gym. I learn about weird weapons from that blacksmith guy that i can use in my TTRPGs and that’s not even taking about the science channels.

          Of course if you don’t curate your subscribed channels and just browse home it’s probably gonna suck and be full of clickbait

            So you’re the person who watches those medieval weapon tutorials. I wondered how those stayed alive.

    Since some weeks I’m also getting an error in NewPipe/PipePipe, that my IP is temporarily blocked at YouTube - although I usually can just immediately resume and only get the error in the middle of the video like once or twice

    Anyone else - and especially maybe with a solution?

        Surprisingly, haven’t seen that with FreeTube
        But I use my mobile client much more than FreeTube on my PC…

        Hopefully we can still find a way around

        Although, maybe it’s time to sever the ties and just move to PeerTube - which would mean, that the will need to also produce some content

            Although I don’t really follow any specific channels, that’s probably a very good approach
