A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

No it's not.

I mean, maybe it's trying, I don't know, but I'm not even trying to keep ublock origin up to date (maybe it updates itself in the background?) and I haven't noticed any difference (or ads) other than the normal progressive enshittification of both platform and channels, and I'm pretty certain I live in the world... EDIT: And before anyone asks, I am logged in, I mostly use YouTube through the subscriptions page, so being logged in doesn't seem to be causing any problems for me either.

Also I've had zero problems with Youtube ad blocking using Brave browser.
