Alternatives to YouTube ???

This sucks! Get this now when using YT with ad-blockers!



Any other sites as good or any work around to this new YT policy ???

Fuck that, they already make money from ads by selling you.

Install a script manager extension like TaperMonkey in Chrome or GreaseMonkey on Firefox, once done, install the anti-adblock killer script. Problem solved.

Seems the message I got in the OP only applies to Opera browser and that is on an intermittent basis.

Right now opera browser is playing TY fine and not blocking anything in spite of running ad-blockers.
Other times today and yesterday Opera blocked all TY clips saying ad-blockers must be removed! IDK what is going on with Opera browser!

When running Firefox, Chrome and Brave browsers, TY plays fine on all of them with no issues with ad-blocker turned on.
Seems Opera browser is the only one blocking TY videos sometimes if the ad-blocker is turned on.

It is $12.99 now.

I pay a lot of subscriptions and for some reason, I feel this one is not worth it.

I have been using "brave" and a browser in my laptop and phone and it works great to avoid ads. Even in phones you can let the videos in "podcast" mode, with only audio, and use your phone for other things.

I don't get the need to pay for something that I already get for free. The constant ads are certainly annoying, but not worth paying $150 per year to get rid of.

Just maybe, but if Opera's free VPN is on, it could mean sharing one of Opera's IP addresses with a bunch of other people. If someone's ad-blocker is detected (even though yours isn't) YouTube may red-flag that IP address for a while and reject all requests coming from it.

Using Opera free VPN now and YT is working fine right now playing everything.
Use Opera free VPN a lot.

Yes that's the one I use also. Works great and right now YT is playing everything fine running Ublock.

Agreed!
Use an ad-blocker and those annoying ads are gone for free.

Wish there was a way to put those ad-blockers on Smart TVS.

Get a cheap laptop or mini PC that has an ad blocker on it and plug it into your TV with a HDMI cable. Or get a Chromecast and stream from the alternative YouTube apps that block ads.

There's still broadcast TV that's free, but still has ads
Radio is also free, but has ads
Read a magazine
Watch movies
Video games
Board games
Solitaire

Fair warning: you may need sunscreen and sunglasses to protect your pale skin outside.

Did that with an old laptop. Worked fine and blocked all YT ads but the old laptop was slow.
