Uh yeah, I paid for YouTube Premium, I purged my accounts on Facebook, they are not the same. It does make me happy when platforms that abuse their privilege like Facebook begin doing things that will bring them closer to their end.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I'm sure there isn't, but it feels like that kind of wording should be reportable to someone
They reworded it to make it seem like it was the adblocker's fault you were losing friend posts, speaking as if the ads were a second thought
When adblockers don't actually target posts, meaning facebook would have to be the ones doing it.
🥲 I have a friend !
I actually got a notice like this several months ago even before YouTube did theirs.
If anything, Facebook's quite infamous for trying to combat and blockers in general. I remember back then when they obfuscated their web layout so much that it got tricky for some to filter or block sponsored or recommended content.
I don't care for Facebook one bit... but it's alarming to see ANOTHER platform trying to block adblockers. First YouTube, then APKMirror, and now Facebook. Great... can't wait to enter the adblocker blocking web era. Fucking Google, always making shit worse.
I have started seeing anti adblockers banners since last year or two way before YouTube started blocking adblockers.
I love how both Meta and YT will Barbara Streisand Ad Blockers into the spotlight. Most people do not use ad blockers and all these News will make them more aware of it.
Since Facebook was blocked by roscomnadzor nobody miss it. This is how bad it was.
To be fair, what is roscomnadzor and why do I care if it blocked Facebook?
