    I accidentally watched YouTube the other night without adblock, OMFG what an experience.

    If I can’t watch with adblock I’ll just stop using it, it’s only a rabit hole to waste time for me anyway.

      Yup, and I’m not willing to pay for Youtube Premium because the app kinda sucks and I don’t like Google keeping track of what I watch. I’m willing to pay, but I’d really like to keep using the 3rd party apps I prefer (Grayjay and NewPipe).

      So like Reddit, I’ll drop Youtube if my 3rd party apps stop working. That’s my line in the sand. If Youtube wants to get money from me, it needs to be through an API disassociated from my identity.
