Oddly enough, I keep seeing people reporting that Youtube is blocked for them if they use ad blockers, or that they are now seeing ads regardless, but… it still works fine for me, using ublock origin on Firefox

Same. I’ve been seeing all these memes about it and thinking to myself “there’s ads on YouTube?”.

I also have auto update on both firefox and ublock origin (firefox macos) and if I am sleepless and pulling up youtube around 1am-4am youtube seems to push updates around then and I’ll see the skip ad button or the yellow ad timer bar with no video or sound. It appears that, as predicted by some in a previous thread about this topic, that there is an arms race between the ublock and youtube devs

the powerful devs at ublock maintain their struggle

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
