If you’re seeing ads on YouTube, you’re doing it wrong.
I know theres a github page. I believe its shatterdisk? When i was in school they firewalled youtube. So i found alternatives to rick roll.
Where there is a rick roll There is a rick way
Now playing Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Tenor had a good video guide of how to skip ads for short videos on YouTube with link changes. I used it to Rick Roll a friend once, not sure if it still works, though: https://media.tenor.com/x8v1oNUOmg4AAAAM
you motherfu-
I give up, this has really let me down.
Omg did you just reinvent YouTube?!?
Thank you. I needed this.
You aren’t doing youtube correctly.
PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube
Mobile: revanced, newpipe
Freetube has been failing consistently on all my desktops lately. None of the instances on the main site work. Can you verify it’s till working and maybe DM me the instance you’re using?
How does one Rick roll people who don’t do YouTube correctly, which is most everyone?
Those people? We don’t interact with those people.
Touché
Are you rick-rolling yourself? Derp.
Honestly, I have Firefox + ublock origin in Mobile too
and sponsorblock 👌
I have all 3 options on mobile as well
Same.
FreeTube has an Android fork now that works just as well as the PC version.

Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers
Given that ad block users are usually tech savvy and have been around the net a while: We already know the URL and can detect Rick Rolls before clicking on shit.
I wrote a tamper monkey script to detect rick rolls lol
I have an ad blocker and I tend to recognise the link, but even when I do, I ~choose to click on it for the fun of it.😌
Yup I will usually happily walk into a rick roll. I just enjoy the music. lol
Wrong! I blocked the link with my adblock.
Lazy, I just recognize the url from getting rick rolled so much.

XcQ, link stays blue
A friend of mine helped me set up a Star Trek automation where the lights turn on and a Star Trek LCARS video plays on my TV.
Went to demo it only to discover he’d changed the link to a rickroll. I love that trolling bastard
lmao that’s a good one
Eh, too much work.
XcQ, no thank you!
I can’t believe I’m about to suggest this, but use a YouTube short version since those don’t have ads.
Wow, a legitimate use case for shorts.
Tenor’s has a guide that shows you how to make a full video link into a Shorts style link to not have ads at the beginning: https://media.tenor.com/x8v1oNUOmg4AAAAM
Nice! May I recommend you share that with all of our professional rickrollers? (Or may I share it there?)
I’ve literally rickrolled thousands of people and i didn’t hesitate for a second to click on that link. wow. (﹏;)
Go for it!
I don’t mind adverts for free services but YouTube take the piss now.
And Amazon. Paying Prime members still have to watch ads.
What ticks me off is Stack TV. I pay for it and I still get huge ads on the bottom and right edges, telling me to subscribe to Stack TV.

Watch this vid for a good explanation on how to avoid the issue:

I was saved by the cookie approval pop-up tho.
It is official, vanilla internet is fucked.
Wasn’t there someone who bought youtube ads and had the ad be a rick roll?
Just use a different site here
