    Why am I not having any issues blocking ads in YouTube? I use uBlock Origin and Firefox.

      I forget the term but it’s something like “staged rollout”. Not everybody will see the changes at the same time. Solidarity is harder when people think they’re above getting affected

        That’s true, I haven’t been affected yet and I just assumed my ublock was doing a good enough job. But I guess it’ll be my turn soon

      Me too. I’m also on Google Fi still for reasons, I know there are better options. The moment they start blocking Ublock I will be cancelling my phone plan.

        Why wouldn’t they offer free services for you like YouTube premium (whatever it’s called) since you already buy in to their service?

          That’s sort of my feeling as well. Putting my tin foil hat on. I think it’s why I’m in the group that isn’t being fucked with yet.
