minus-squareHughJanus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up44arrow-down1·1 year agoYouTube, I’ve been using ad-blockers since the advent of pop-up ads in the late 90s. You’ve never been able to stop this, and you aren’t going to now. I don’t use the YouTube app or watch your videos on my browser. I use FreeTube on desktop, LibreTube and GrayJay on mobile and FCast on TV so 🖕
