Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

Of course de-googling your life is a violation of the terms is service...

Am leaving this site soon am done with google and youtube (Yt frontends and odysee)

Didn't he say that using adblockers in YouTube was basically piracy?

What is the official reason here for removing it?

Still available on Floatplane!

Hell yeah! Fuck the freeloaders

I bet they removed it faster than a porn video on YouTube Kids! 😲

Friendly reminder that pirates didn't usually stole gold. Piracy was stealing shipping goods, then selling them for profit at some port. Digital piracy is thus defined as acquiring, and then distributing for profit, media that you don't own the copyrights of. Ad blocking is categorically not piracy.

Ah so its war you want, YouTube.

How to "block" ads: Refresh the video multiple times. They will show a few different ads and then give up. It even works on console YT apps which have more ads.

I guess it affects impressions? I figured they would have fixed that, but this still works so whatever.

Fucking hilarious.

…to the surprise of absolutely no one who's been paying attention. They got rid of the coalmine canary clause like a fucking decade ago.

Funny, considering in the past he's gone on big rants about how adblocking is no different from piracy, and is theft.

But then again, its Linus we're talking about, its not like he has a particularly big issue with theft anymore.

Well that's a thumbnail I'd never click on

I don't see any mention of the YouTube adblock trick, so from the vid:

Copy YouTube URL. Paste it in Bing and search. Scroll passed Bing's sponsored bullshit and click on the thumbnail for the video you searched. It will then play, still in Bing, with no ads.

So if you're on a work or government or w/e computer that doesn't allow installing adblock extensions, there ya go. No downloads or anything, just YouTube and Bing.

...this is the first time I've ever had any interest in using Bing, lol.

I don't care for Linus these days but respect for that.

One more reason to subscribe to float plane

There would be less talking over each other due to word definitions if the music industry had not convicted people that murder and stealing on boats was good way to describe unauthorized copying.

I have no longer watched their content since the scandal.

Obligatory Louis Rossmann commentary on the matter. https://youtu.be/qHwP6S_jf7g?feature=shared

Isn't he the same person who calls adblocking piracy?

I mean I get that Youtubers have no morals and it's all about money but that seems excessively hypocritical, even for a Youtube "personality".

I use brave or Firefox + uBlock. Never see any ad.

What happened to his hair?

don't you know, it's hate speech against corporate profits

It has been reuploaded already with a nice "re-upload" added in the thumbnail.

Linus Insurrection Tips.

Ironically, watching this video on Osysee results in me consuming more ads that help LTT than usual, because I don't have SponsorBlock set up for that.

He should totally upload it to HornPUB

Op the Odyssey link is broken

I have Premium. I don’t see any ads.

Reddit is curiously silent on this matter. Their SJWs are usually all over shit like this.

Wouldn't surprise me if their new deal with Google has some influence on which posts go down the drain, and which ones go to the front page.
