With YouTube blocking adblockers, I found myself using YT a lot less. Every time I click on a video, it gets blocked. Then I realize I didn’t really care about watching the video. It felt like I caught myself before lighting the cigarette. I welcome the change and it has helped free up my mental space for other stuff.
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
I haven’t used the official front end in years. Invidious proved to be the most reliable. My usage has actually spiked since I discovered Free tube.
