And I’m sure it’s annoying you too. You can’t view a single YouTube video anymore anywhere one is posted, without that stupid notification popping up. Which forces you to have to go to the shitty YouTube site, log in, hope through whatever verification checks that there is and finally, you can watch the video.

Isn’t there a way anymore where people can just link videos and for them to play? Fuck you, Google.

    It’s so they can track you better. If you’re in the US and using a Chromium based browser, so long as you don’t view “adult content” they usually don’t pop this up. But they can’t track in Firefox, and because of GDPR, they can’t track logged-out users in the EU, so it’s all about the money. I use Vivaldi and a VPN to watch youtube, works mostly fine.

    EDIT: Well never-fucking-mind…this strategy has worked for me without fail for a lonnnnng time, and today they got me…same day the pulled uBlock origin from the Chrome store…dicks.
