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.

They have been pushing adblock detecting technologies in some regions. I'm preparing for having to stop using Youtube when they roll it out here.
Here in Austria I get the anti adblocker message every single time I visit so I don't care much anymore and just dropped it. I'm rather watching shows now lol
Also in Austria here and no ads for me with uBlock Origin + DNS block on my firewall.
What adblocker are you using? I'm also in Austria but haven't got it
Luckily Libretube and Piped still work so I haven't had to visit the normal Youtube site in ages, I do know Youtube increased their aggression towards third party frontends too tho so we will see how long the Newpipe extractor will work I guess!
I don’t think you’ll be losing out on much. Their algorithm has gone to shit recently and finding anything new has become a chore.
I've never had history on so their algorithm has always been ass for me. Just depended on subs.
