Meanwhile, Youtube engineers and uBlock Origin volunteers are in a war of attrition, updating both the website (youtube, to block ublock) and uBlock Origin (the ad blocker, to unblock the ublock blocker) multiple times a day every day

Yep, it's going to be a constant game of cat-and-mouse from now on. Google isn't going to relent on this.

Oh, of course not. But uBlock Origin and pihole aren't going anywhere. Hell, they'd probably have to get legislation to slow it down, but good luck fighting that battle. Hollywood's war against piracy is a good comparison.

something something offer a better service than the pirates

[–] woddy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Exactly. We've come a long way from $6/m netflix. I would rather give up youtube than pay them $10/m. I GLADLY paid $1/m to a twitch adblocker the other day. Ill pay, but not fucking $10/m when I can avoid it with some complications for free.

Not even, they've already tried to make the case of Anti-adblock bypass violating DMCA and it hasn't gone anywhere. Unlike piracy where it can and is claimed as a violation of copyright law.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

/c/PiHole ?

Edit: that doesn’t work as a one tap link.
