Good excuse for me to never switch to Chrome.

Nobody ever should. The mere idea of installing a Google browser is like willingly dedicate "folding@home" space to SkyNet.

Another case of YT trying to gaslight me into questioning my sanity.
So you may or may not know that YT channels also list other channels by the same yokel. This used to be its own tab on the main channel page - but now it's at the bottom of the main tab. For reasons.
It probably also didn't help that I noticed this during a transitional period where the site would sometimes revert to the old layout, which made it look like the channel tab had disappeared for no reason.

I've recently noticed some users having their names displayed again, instead of the @ handle.

German rower legend Peter-Michael Kolbe is ded.
Bet ya didn't notice that.

Supposedly jewtube is continuing to crack down on adblockers. I heard from one person IRL that they had to switch browsers because ublock wasn't working on firefucks anymore.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

They'll just continue to make adblockers even more powerful.

Every day, you basically need to wait for ublock Origin to update to catch up with Youtube's latest fuckery. It's a bit annoying, but beats paying Google for Youtube Premium.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Maybe of their premium-only content was actually worth watching they wouldn't have to do this.
But nobody cares about Youtube Originals (tm), so instead they've decided to punish people who don't pay.

[Le Redditeur]

Not gonna lie - they have inconvenienced adblokcing badly enough that most short-attention span zoomers will just pay for Youtube Premium.

[Kugelfisch]

Nah, they'll wait out the ads.
