I have YouTube ReVanced on my phone. If YouTube ever defeats uBlock Origin on my desktop, I just won't watch YouTube on desktop anymore. I refuse to watch or view ads.

Back in the day my grandma would literally mute TV ads and look away while setting a timer to indicate when to look back. So I come from a long line of people refusing to watch ads and not about to start now.

Does it work normally for You? Mine broke last week and freezes every video at around 70 seconds.

I had the same issue, but patching to the latest versions fixed it. I updated YouTube, ReVanced manager, and ReVanced. I'm not sure if all three are are needed, but it worked.

I pay for Premium and I still used ReVanced for the sponsor block. However, after some time, I couldn't watch videos beyond the 40 second mark, ever happen to you?

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That means you need to update ReVanced

[–] eheasterweekend@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I've missed sponsor block

Same here, but you just need to update ReVanced, fixed a lot of stuff
