YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking (alternativeto.net)

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.

even though this may be inconvenient, it will likely help migrating good content to less shitty platforms/companies in the long run.

I admire your optimism. I don't share it, but I admire it.

How? Do you think channel with 2M subs will move to Vimeo? Why would anyone do that?

once the 2M subs are inactive because they got annoyed its the logical step to move to regain them
