YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

      they are “testing” it. But yeah it’s all over tech news right now.

        I hope it goes the same way as the time they “tested” playing like 10 super short ads before the video. That and this are both plain awful sigh

      VPN thru Albania is no longer blocking ads on YT for me any longer.

        That’s a oddly specific way to block ads, why not just use a regular adblocker?

            I was under the impression that instead of using an adblocker, they’ve just used a VPN, even before adblockers being blocked, and now it’s stopped working because of these changes.
