I miss it, but not enough to give $20 a month to a pack of scavenging vultures.

If you export your history, subs and playlists to Freetube, the only thing you’ve really lost is your ability to comment. Thus, FreeTube still works fine and you can still view videos logged out. The soft block is only tied to the individual account, not the IP.If YouTube wants to kill adblock forever with sheer force, it’s within their power - we are all hoping they’re just “shaking the tree” to see what falls out and they’ll stop once their accountants are satisfied. The success of their efforts will depend largely on what YouTube decides to do next, because fighting their legions of paid coders off indefinitely would be impossible. None of the uBO team are paid for this, they are volunteers with day jobs.They are holding their own, but just barely. This naturally has put a MASSIVE strain on the volunteer team and will probably result in extended outages on YT as they try to keep up. To protect the new tattler script from our jamming efforts, YT is also updating it at least once a day and sometimes multiple times, basically trying to force us into a war of attrition in coding hours.As of right now, it does not lock your other Google services and it does not count as a traditional account ban. After 3 warnings on a given account, it no longer allows you to close the warning popup, thus acting as a soft block on that YT account until YT’s tattler script no longer detects ad-block running.This can be X'ed out of quickly, it’s just a warning. Each time you click on a video that WOULD have shown you ads, the tattler script detects that you blocked it and you’re given a warning popup.YT is making a concerted anti-adblock push via a tattler script tied to a '3 strikes and you’re out” style warning message.Copy and pasting from Reddit user Mike J Smith on the Reddit page for ublock origin, an adblocker extension:
