YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking - eviltoast

The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it’s plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be implicated.

      Same; ever since I left reddit I just can’t find any other platform besides YT that satisfies my need to be addicted to a website.
