Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

I don't see any mention of the YouTube adblock trick, so from the vid:

Copy YouTube URL. Paste it in Bing and search. Scroll passed Bing's sponsored bullshit and click on the thumbnail for the video you searched. It will then play, still in Bing, with no ads.

So if you're on a work or government or w/e computer that doesn't allow installing adblock extensions, there ya go. No downloads or anything, just YouTube and Bing.

...this is the first time I've ever had any interest in using Bing, lol.

Isn't he the same person who calls adblocking piracy?

I mean I get that Youtubers have no morals and it's all about money but that seems excessively hypocritical, even for a Youtube "personality".

I don't care for Linus these days but respect for that.

I have no longer watched their content since the scandal.

Friendly reminder that pirates didn't usually stole gold. Piracy was stealing shipping goods, then selling them for profit at some port. Digital piracy is thus defined as acquiring, and then distributing for profit, media that you don't own the copyrights of. Ad blocking is categorically not piracy.

I bet they removed it faster than a porn video on YouTube Kids! 😲

Well that's a thumbnail I'd never click on

don't you know, it's hate speech against corporate profits

Funny, considering in the past he's gone on big rants about how adblocking is no different from piracy, and is theft.

But then again, its Linus we're talking about, its not like he has a particularly big issue with theft anymore.

Of course de-googling your life is a violation of the terms is service...

Ah so its war you want, YouTube.

What happened to his hair?

Obligatory Louis Rossmann commentary on the matter. https://youtu.be/qHwP6S_jf7g?feature=shared

Didn't he say that using adblockers in YouTube was basically piracy?

…to the surprise of absolutely no one who's been paying attention. They got rid of the coalmine canary clause like a fucking decade ago.

It has been reuploaded already with a nice "re-upload" added in the thumbnail.

There would be less talking over each other due to word definitions if the music industry had not convicted people that murder and stealing on boats was good way to describe unauthorized copying.

Fucking hilarious.

How to "block" ads: Refresh the video multiple times. They will show a few different ads and then give up. It even works on console YT apps which have more ads.

I guess it affects impressions? I figured they would have fixed that, but this still works so whatever.

I use brave or Firefox + uBlock. Never see any ad.

Ironically, watching this video on Osysee results in me consuming more ads that help LTT than usual, because I don't have SponsorBlock set up for that.

Still available on Floatplane!

He should totally upload it to HornPUB

Invalid claim ID %claim%Id%

Yes i watched it

I'd rather watch ads than this kid.

I have Premium. I don’t see any ads.

Hell yeah! Fuck the freeloaders

Reddit is curiously silent on this matter. Their SJWs are usually all over shit like this.

Wouldn't surprise me if their new deal with Google has some influence on which posts go down the drain, and which ones go to the front page.
