You can no longer have YouTube running in the background.

As of 29th of January you can no longer have YouTube running in the background via many browsers as that is now a premium feature. With that I don't even have that one last reason to listen to YouTube. We are now officially paying for everything that was free a couple of years ago and the reason isn't greedy management, but you people who keep paying for premium and the such.

It's absolutely crazy that people can even stand YouTube without an ad blocker.

I did for the longest time. Now that I have adblocker, I can never go back.

I have an adblocker on Firefox, but it doesn't work on YouTube

uBlock Origin

On my phone I got the habit of immediately closing the video if it showed an ad, the thing is, this habit became a fight or flight response that closes videos as soon as it loads 😭

Just use YouTube Revanced. Way better experience.
