    It doesn’t seem to be working for me. I’ve never been blocked for using ad blockers. It’s still the same speed it’s always been. I have all these work arounds just waiting to be used that I haven’t even had to actually try.

    Are they only doing this shit to like 12 people who write articles about it? Why wouldn’t it be globally done all at once for everyone?

      Yes, they are rolling these changes out in stages to make it harder for the internet to collectively address the issue.

      Trust me, you will get hit eventually.

        It doesn’t seem to be making it harder; shit’s in the news all the time and damn near every discussion on those articles has work arounds mentioned constantly.

        If it ever does hit me, as previously stated, I have several solutions already lined up. Not least of which is simply using Piped. Which I could just use now, even without getting screwed… 🤔

          That’s the point my friend. The articles and the resolutions are mudying the water. Which is easier:

          Finding one post that states “on October 12th, my adblocker stopped working and the resolution was to update the block lists.”

          Searching three months of varied news articles all related to the issue and with completely different resolutions.

      Personally I don’t watch it in the Browser instead I use the AndroidTV app.
      Amd I am patient in that regard. Can’t scare me with a 5sec delay.
