YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.

      You can’t use ReVanced on desktop. I was mostly being sarcastic and saying everyone would just start watching on their phones. But I do most of my YouTube viewing on mobile anyway, so if I started getting hit with this, this is literally what I would do.

      For Desktop, you can use FreeTube

      • Private viewing by default
      • Supports all platforms (Yey Linux)
      • No ads
      • Can create seperate profiles (Helps me with productivity)
      • Download the video is required

      Only downside

      • Can’t comment on the videos
