YouTube's ban leads to a record number of users uninstalling their ad-blockers
> https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock
I'm trying out alternatives fadblock seems to work well enough so far, but this is enshitification.
If it comes to it I'll migrate over to using yt-dlp or disregard YT entirely and find somewhere else. I believe others feel similarly. Ads are not acceptable to me.

A (better) alternative to ublock or other content intercepting adblockers, Fadblock
Fortunately, nothing breeds innovation like war, and a new type of adblocker has been born, Fadblock. Fadblock does not block ads from loading, like uBlock, but rather tricks youtube into thinking they've been played, and it does so in a very clever fashion - by playing them... at 10,000x speed (with no audio). This effectively skips ads and the video loads instantaneously.

YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers
It's definitely pretty tricky to try and even come up with statistics.
ublock was having issues early on, that required a laundry list of things to do to make sure youtube couldn't detect that something was up. I don't know if this has changed or not.
So rather than troubleshoot, what I did was turn it off on yotube, and install https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock, which isn't 100% perfect like the original ublock experience, but has been very durable against google's efforts.
Google may or may not believe they were successful in my case, depending on what they are looking for.

YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge
This thing seems to work pretty well: https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock
Instead of actually blocking the ad elements, it just auto-forwards the videos to the end once loaded. Slightly jankier, but much harder to detect.

YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin
This all seems over-complicated.
Why not just use fadblock?
https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock
It doesn't need to be updated in this cat and mouse game. it just skips the ads in milliseconds and you don't even notice them.

Mobile App, redesign, new dev, promotion build a bright future for PeerTube
PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols.
Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube platform because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.
If you are curious about PeerTube, I can't recommend you enough to check the official website (https://joinpeertube.org) to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find a platform available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube platform on your own server.
The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft (https://framasoft.org), a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!
Framasoft is also involved in the development of Mobilizon, a decentralized and federated alternative to Facebook Events and Meetup.
If you want to contribute to PeerTube, feel free to:

- Peertube is a YouTube alternative anyone can join or run their own instance of as part of the Fediverse

PeerTube v6 is out, and powered by your ideas
> YouTube (and other mainstream providers) solves user stories. The user story is "I want to find and watch interesting videos" and they nail it.
You miss another user story: IT department wants to self host a video distributing platform on their intranet and users need to embed video in intranet CMS (blogs, wikis, etc.) and they will watch those videos at home, at the office and in between places.
Thinking audience and monetization, basically it's thinking "youtube clone", and that narrows outlooks on what peertube brings to the table.
> The user story for this, judging by their homepage (https://joinpeertube.org), seems to be "I want a boring lecture on how bad Big Tech is"?

There are several instances, but that is not the solution to what the parent comment is pointing out. Videos are being published on YouTube because of network effect; it has become the defacto platform.
