If things keep going like this I guess I'll abandon Youtube completely. How brighter my life will be
That's where things are heading. I wonder what video services will replace it.
It wont be, the scale of service and ease of revenue sharing will keep it as the king of video distribution untill Google kills it (like they do to all their products). FOSS projects and self hosting can not accomodate a viral hit (the slashdot effect), and also a self-hosted project like that would have to find a way to make money for the host to keep the lights on, and even Youtube fails at that one.
Could just make a system to automate the ads like muting(or white noise) them and automatically clicking skip, is not as good but still feels like a small win
Skipping ads violates YouTube’s terms of service!
Video playback will be blocked until you allow us to shove ads down your throat.
You can also opt for YouTube premium, where we’ll allow you to skip the last 5 seconds of any ad! (*)
(*) ads shorter than 5 minutes do not support skipping the final 5 seconds.
Ad blockers assert your belief in the web browser as user agent, not server agent
Triple penetrated, many YouTube Premium features don't even work properly.
"Violate Terms of Service" 😂 such agressive language for not wanting to watch endless ads for 2 min videos.
Get fucked.
I can't wait for the plugin that replaces all the ads with black and white mine videos
Sus mime
NOT THAT ONE!

Datura Network's Invidious instance has a rotating IP, so it's considerably harder for Google to block it.
Every Invidious or Piped instance could easily implement IPv6 rotation, the smart-ipv6-rotator is fully FOSS and easy to set up.
Invidious and Piped both have official documentation on how to set it up:

That sucks. Do you have access to a VPN with servers in Albania or Moldova? They still don't allow ads in youtube videos.
Happened to me last month, I set proton VPN to an Albanian server and everything worked until uBlock got updated to suppress the black screen of death again. Good luck!
Just go to yewtu.be
Google foiled again by the yews!! 😂
I love that their warning is an admission of failure
just wait a bit for ublock to update their scrips/feed then it'll work again.
happens to me every now and again, at least on windows, but then I switched to linux and it just stopped happening. Hell I don't even get ads on Twitch anymore when I would all the time regardless of what extentions I used on windows.
Interestingly, I am having this problem on Linux. EndeavourOS. It's a rolling release distro, so probably a new "cutting-edge" browser feature broke the ad blockers.
Still works for me with a combination of Firefox, uBlock and a VPN. I assume sharing an IP with thousands of other people screws up their detection algorithm.
Invidious works absolutely great as an alternative way to access all the content uploaded to YouTube. No ads at all and a way better search function.
