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.

I'm not going to watch terrible content for the sake of watching terrible content.

I'm not asking that. I'm asking you to find the good content when it is there and wetch that instead. I do watch youtube when I'm out of interesting things on peertube but peertube gets first obportunity for my eyes.

The only way to "support peertube by watching there" is to watch bad content.

There isn't any meaningful amount of good content there.
