Let's be honest, nobody really wants to disable their adblocker for YouTube, especially considering the onslaught of invasive ads on the platform. Plus, the FBI recommends keeping it on for security reasons to guard against cyber attacks. But how do you cope with the growing restrictions on YouTube videos?
1. Explore Other Forms of Entertainment:
Certainly, the initial reaction might be negative, but there's a world of alternative entertainment options. You can watch TV shows on your preferred streaming platform, whether it's a paid service or a free one. Alternatively, you could finally dive into those video games you've been putting off. With YouTube out of the picture, you can fully immerse yourself in your chosen entertainment without the distraction.
2. Get Active and Improve Your Well-being:
Consider using this time to focus on your physical and mental well-being. Get active, go for a walk, exercise, meditate, or embark on that day trip you've always wanted. Spend time with friends and family, go on dates, and prioritize your mental health. Removing YouTube from the equation can open up opportunities for personal growth and wellness.
3. Explore Alternative Video Platforms:
If you're itching to watch videos, there are alternative video-sharing platforms to explore. Keep in mind that your favorite YouTuber may not be present on these platforms, and some may not be as mobile or user-friendly as YouTube. Here are a few alternatives to consider:
a. Storyfire: This platform is centered around writing and storytelling. It also offers a YouTube-inspired section with a variety of videos, ranging from makeup tutorials to gaming content.
b. Yew.Tube: This alternative to YouTube allows you to search for your favorite YouTuber or video directly in the search box, making it easy to find and watch the content you desire.
c. TikTok/YouTube Shorts: TikTok and YouTube Shorts are designed to provide short-form, engaging content. They may help fill the void left by YouTube, offering a tailored viewing experience that matches your preferences and interests.

alternatively: get a better adblock - uBlock origin and disable all cookies so they can't track what happens on your side of things
this seems to be working for me - I am yet to see this popup even once
Also as far as alternative forms of entertainment Odysee is around as well, with not a lot, but a decent enough chunk of creators also around. It's video search is the wildest example of hit or miss I've seen - it either gives you a better result than you expected, as if it was reading your mind, or you can't find a video by directly putting it's name, taken straight from Odysee itself open on another machine, directly into the the search.
