Youtube search page has so many shorts before the actual videos... - programming.dev

Fuck YouTube
They might fuck themselves when they start forcing people to turn off adblockers after 3 videos. It's being tested in different places (probably A/B testing) and when it becomes standard, I wonder what people will start doing.
I’m not turning off my ad blocker to use YouTube. When that happens, I just won’t use YouTube anymore. I’ve stopped using lots of sites/services over the years for one reason or another. It’ll just get thrown on the pile.

I don't know if their block will work in private mode of the browser. If it doesn't, then all youtube videos will simply be opened in private mode and that's that. If somehow that doesn't work, then I too will stop with youtube.

Unfortunately, we'll probably be the minority and others will just give in to the pressure.
