As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don’t use it with any other adblockers.
Also if you’re using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.
Finally. As a Nevadan I cannot being to describe how utterly infuriating it was when our AG suggested it wasn’t a crime, specifically “we ascertained that current state statutes did not directly address the conduct in question”. It’s a massive massive massive relief that he either changed his mind or was playing it close to his vest the entire time.
Also pardon my American but I hope these chucklefucks get nailed to the wall.
