YouTube algorithm needs work

Might have been about folk complaining they can’t use Don Henley’s music for free anymore?

No (but something in the trend of listening to music for free… all this is very unimportant)… But I do know that I completely agreed with you so don’t worry that you’re rude or anything a like that … while I’m typing this my wife says why are you laughing so hard… that’s because when I say don’t worry because I agreed …ha ha yes I am always so civilized

Ps, never thought anyone would ever complain that you get music ads while listening to music instead of home garden and other personalized ads…

Gone now

If you don’t want to install yet an other app it is also possible to add the uBlock Origin extension to your mobile Firefox. Unlike Chrome on Android, Firefox supports extensions. I have not tested this solution though, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t work.

I’ve been using uBlock on mobile FireFox for ages. Works fine, including on YouTube.

I honestly forgot that YouTube even had ads until they made that failed attempt to disable them recently. Installing an ad-blocker has been a default part of an OS install for me for at least fifteen years. It always surprises me when I come across people still not using one, allowing all this crap to be shoved in their faces, interrupting videos, making webpages harder to read, and slowing down their experience. Literally two or three clicks and you can be totally free of it all, and at no cost.

YouTube has re-taken the initiative. Today the ads played even though my ad blocker was turned on. The ball is back in AdBlock+'s court.
