Youtube has added a new "feature" that blocks users with adblockers from viewing videos. How do I get around this while still blocking ads? I currently use uBlock Origin on firefox.

Use one of the few Invidious instances that still exist while that's still an option, although I have a bad feeling this sorta thing is screwing with Invidious too because I've had a few streams corrupt when skipping through the vid before.

Grayjay is also an option, while it's still an option.

    Google has been directly attacking Invidious nodes for about 2 years now. As soon as they figure out a node, it gets IP-banned. All the working instances use IPv6 with huge address blocks or crazy IPv4 address rotation, plus cycling login credentials, ...

    Fuck YouTube. The only real solution is PeerTube.

    I've never really figured out Peeetube tbh. It never finds me the type of content I am looking for, usually only instance local content.

    It's largely because there is very low incentive to create videos for peertube: smaller user base and less revenue options. So you find less videos because there are less.
