YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps - Lemmy.one

Sounds like trouble for Newpipe, Sponsorblock, etc…

I will never tolerate ads. I will give up YouTube before I watch ads.
What is your suggestion for financing the YouTube infrastructure and development?
It should be publicly-funded, like infrastructure. Having a video sharing platform is clearly very important, but I don't think there are any companies that are both capable of running it and trustworthy enough to do so.
