Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.
(lemmy.world)
So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the "x" and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the "Report issue" only for the dialogue box not to work.
I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷♂️
Don’t give them ideas.
They already have plans to DRM the entire fucking web. That's why I am currently cutting google out of my life step by step.
Yeah, YT is the last holdout for me. It’s literally the only Google service I willingly sign up for. I’ve tried Piped/Invidious, but they don’t match YTs quality.
No problem, quality will continue to degrade, until you will be happy to switch.
Yeah the lack of playlists is an issue
So, give me a heads up if you find a reliably working alternative for their FCM that enables common apps to ... work, e.g. mobile payment (not crypto), alarm messaging for emergency forces, e.g. firefighters. I'd say one can easily step back from google if you rely on independent apps and services (done that for a couple of years). But without FCM some shit simply doesn't work.
They're way ahead of you, they already started implementing it in Chrome.

It’s bullshit like this that made me give up all Chromium browsers earlier this year. I used to be a complete Google simp, but those days are well behind me. They’re motto these days might as well be “Do evil.”
I went from loving Google (had the HYC Dream, the first Android phone!)
Many years ago I cut em out. Now I have no google products and do not use their services.
I also had the HTC Dream (called the TMobile G1 in the US). Only google product I haven’t been able to ditch is gmail.
