Comment on What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now?
frittoBee@lemmy.world 1 day agoI normally use NewPipe but that didn’t work so I used Firefox and got that lovely message on the video. But now, a few hours later, it all works again…

Are you also using something like ubo?
frittoBee@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yes I use ubo. I don’t know if I could browse the internet without it.
thevoidzero@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Internet looks very different without it.

And some websites and videos don’t work correctly…

You can, but you should not.

They’re upset about your use of UBO. They are actively targeting users who have it enabled. That’s why it’s trying to force you to sign in.
For what it’s worth, I second the others. Don’t disable Ublock Origin. Try a different YouTube front end if you have to. Google can kick rocks with them s nonsense.

I would rather not use YouTube at all than be forced to watch it with ads.
