YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers

• yt-dlp

  2,360 70,636 9.8 Python

  A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

  

It'll just be more of a pain to watch YouTube videos but I'd much rather manually download the video with yt-dlp[1] than put up with this bullshit.

• Invidious

  Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

  

Invidious is a third-party frontend (you can self-host) that solves this problem: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious

As a bonus, it is super fast because it doesn't have to justify the salaries of dozens (hundreds?) of frontend developers.

• odysee-api

  255 224 8.1 Go

  API server for Odysee

  

the closest alternative to Youtube I have seen is Odysee (formerly known as LBRY) https://odysee.com/

it reminds me of the old youtube experience. I like that their ads are images and banners rather than video interruptions. the content and viewerbase are a bit limited at the moment but that can easily change.

Yet. Twitch has some pretty hardcore ad system that even uBlock can't block straight up and you have to use a combination of tools/scripts
