Here's uBlock Origin's official guide to bypassing youtube's anti-adblock popups, updated weekly. Please share widely. Don't reward google for their predatory anti-consumer bullshit

To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date

Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice

If updating the filters doesn't work, there was another update on youtube's end.

Don't panic, there will probably be another ublock filter update within the hour.

Just be patient, Youtube and Ublock are in an arms race.

Update: The extension AdNauseam seems to work better than Ublock.

Adnauseam is a bit different as far as ad blockers go. It basically hides ads from you, while also making websites think you clicked every single ad.

The creator of Over the Garden Wall:

“Max” is such hot garbage. I don’t want to watch 6 billion shitty reality shows. I don’t want to even SEE THUMBNAILS for them. They’ve flooded the service with that shit and are hiding or taking away everything good. 

It’s LITERALLY PSYCHOTIC that they’re taking this down right as fall starts. 

Me @ max:

Former NFL player Rosey Grier liked needlepoint.  He wrote a book about it in 1973. (via Dangerous Minds)

Love it!

Me, myself, whenever.

Love this! Love it. It’s not from p. 195, though, it’s from page 106. Also the chapter is called Pussies in the Garden. I love it.

It was a really, really good political news day today in the US (4/4/23)

For anyone who hasn't heard, not only did Trump get arrested, but also:

-We found out that the legal case against him in this prosecution (stormy daniels hush money case) is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than people had speculated. Like, wow do they have receipts.

-In fact, the evidence was so entirely there that the new question on prime time news (well, at least on msnbc lol) is "Hey, why didn't the federal courts prosecute him for this already???)

-Trump FAILED UTTERLY in his attempts to rally mass protests and demands for "death and destruction" if he was arrested. There was no violence at the arrest at all, and as for Trump supporters? They failed to show up in any kind of numbers--reportedly only about a hundred people were protesting the arrest

-We (aka Judge Janet Protasiewicz) WON what is widely considered to be the most consequential election of 2023, a Wisconsin state supreme court election that handed control of the state supreme court to the left

-Because of that election win, it is now extremely likely that abortion will be legal in Wisconsin, and that Wisconsin won't be able to throw out electors in the 2024 presidential election

-ALSO bc of this, Wisconsin, the most gerrymandered state in the country, will probably get nonpartisan, accurate maps, which COULD FLIP THE HOUSE OF REPS in 2024

-In Chicago, Brandon Johnson, union organizer and former teacher, won the election for mayor, in a decisive win progressives, esp for meaningful criminal justice reform and investment in mental health (whereas the other guy was campaigning on hiring hundreds of new cops and being super tough on crime)

Nice.

HAPPY PRIDE Month!

it was an elementary school and people are already blaming it on teachers not being armed, and the lack of school security, and 'guns don't kill people people do'. like HOW inappropriate can you be. at least thirteen CHILDREN are dead because of a gun and your first thought is to defend the gun?!

Jokes about sawing the south off the US help nobody.

Please remember that charter schools are designed to destroy teacher’s unions, designed to destroy public education, and are not be required to uphold the particular punitive or curricular standards which public schools must. They are meant to privatize public education. Whatever someone may tell you, that is what they are for. They are meant to wreck a public service while still costing you money in taxes. And thus, they are trash.

No lies detected.
