i use an ad blocker and YouTube just began blocking them.
i've seen this on disreputable sites before, but never on a site as big as YouTube. now that YouTube is doing it, i bet other sites will follow.
some time ago, i disabled my watch history there, and began controlling what i fed to the algorithm with explicit likes.
not too long ago, that stopped working. YouTube will no longer recommend videos unless they're allowed to track every video you watch.
the site is changing as they get more aggressive about monetisation.
seeing as i'm not interested in disabling my ad blocker nor paying for YouTube Premium, i guess i'm no longer a YouTube user.
