The end of an era. YouTube has announced a crackdown on third-party apps that block ads on videos. https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/269521462?hl=en

1. Title: Enforcement on Third Party Apps - Hi everyone, We’re strengthening our enforcement on third-party apps that violate YouTube’s Terms of Service, specifically ad-blocking apps. Viewers who are using these third-party apps may experience buffering issues or see the error “The following content is not available on this app” when trying to watch a video. We want to emphasize that our terms don’t allow third-party apps to turn off ads because that prevents the creator from being rewarded for viewership, and Ads on YouTube help support creators and let billions of people around the world use the streaming service. We also understand that some people prefer an entirely ad-free experience, which is why we offer YouTube Premium.

  @nixCraft Honestly I was pretty amazed when I found out this was allowed/tolerated last year. I assumed they would have done this long long ago.

  @nixCraft people are stupid enough to remain hands tied on GAFAMs, why would they care ? If one want to be free, they known what to do.

  @nixCraft I doubt this'll cause serious issues.

  @nixCraft newpipe doesnt use youtooob api. They cant enforce their fairytale tErM oF sErViCe. Revanced uses a modified youtube client where you have to apply your own .apk file and it patches the client for you, bypassing what vanced did redistributing youtubes code.
