Revisiting YouTube's Anti-Ad blocker Message (beehaw.org)

The original post I made about this is here.

At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @[email protected], and it seemed to work at first.

Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @[email protected] and, again, this seemed to work at first.

Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.

Does anyone else have another solution?

As far as I've heard, they might cancel or bump up/move the subscription, but otherwise you are allowed to use the service itself in any country regardless of where you registered for it. Don't put in false data like a fake address, but fortunately some countries don't ask for one, so... ๐Ÿคท

Thats fair I guess, still seems too risky for me
