#PSA: If you are a #uBlockOrigin user, and you suddenly started getting ads on #YouTube, check out this Reddit post:

TL;DR: either purge the filter list cache or disable/re-enable the "Quick Fixes" list.

In other news, I'm currently recovering from this mild heart attack of suddenly experiencing ads on YouTube for the first time in probably 10+ years. 😵

@markuswet YouTube Premium has been a more worthwhile and valuable subscription than Netflix, for me.

@DigitalStefan You do you, but I'm sure as hell not stuffing a single dime down Google's throat. I'd rather support creators directly, i.e. via Ko-Fi, LibrePay, etc.

@markuswet @DigitalStefan not a money thing, I just don't want YouTube to take note and keep tabs of what I'm watching. I can't evade their sauron gaze with an active account.

@Polychrome @markuswet no point me trying to escape the gaze. I work for an official Google Partner marketing agency.

Bonus: Very occasionally I get to tell Google their product has bugs. With receipts and proof.
