There is no fucking way in hell I’ll ever a) watch ads b) pay for Youtube Premium. They created this monopoly with no alternative option and now we’re suppose to just get fucked while they get even more obscenely rich beyond all tasteful levels. Yeah, I don’t think so. And given how I ditched everything Google, if it ever comes to it, I’ll ditch Youtube too. It’s basically the only thing I still even use from Google because there’s just no alternative.
Don’t forget the phone. Almost everyone with a smartphone is either an Apple or Google user via it, and everyone seems to forget that.
The main issue with phones are fucking banks. Their bullshit insisting on phones having to have locked bootloader is so fucking annoying. I used phone with LineageOS but it was nightmare to work with my bank and they all do this shit to “protect the user”. Yeah right.
Yes, I do use Android phone, but I used ADB AppControl and just deleted and disabled all the Google shit on it (easier on Samsung since they have their own services which I prefer over Google if I have to). I also run DNS level filtering using Hagezi Ultimate list which filters so much shit. Not ideal still, but it works.
Yup. That’s the main thing stopping me from yeeting Google from my phone (also Samsung): the tickbox sanctity of a non-rooted phone that financial (and some other) apps require. Very frustrating.
ReVanced seems fine
Morphe, my son.
Revanced is dead.
When did Revanced die?
I believe it happened in December last year.
Matter of fact, I believe RVX developer killed his project (Reddit Thread) after the whole drama that had concluded to forming the Morphe project.
For people who only go off headlines and comments and don’t read the article, here’s the important bits:
- This only affects some users, not everyone
- The issue is that comment sections are disabled and video descriptions claim to be empty
- The issue goes away with a refresh, you don’t need to turn off the adblocker, though you’ll have to refresh every video
- It affects all videos
- The link to adblockers is due to everyone who is reporting the issue being a user of an adblocker, and turning it off fixing the issue permanently until it’s turned on again
- There’s no specific browser or adblocker mentioned in the article
- It affects Premium users too
