youtube just suicided itself
@Justicar Citation needed.

@RoninGrey they are rolling out ads cut into the video streams and today having adblock caused videos to crash after couple os seconds or minutes.
Everyone's heard of NewPipe on Android, the YouTube replacement app that strips out the ads.
Even better is a forked app called Tubular. It's the exact same UI but with extra addons that:
1. automatically skip the intros, outros and mid-stream ads
2. restores the dislike count on videos.
It's hands down the best YouTube replacement. Get it on IzzyDroid:
@UncleIroh @DoubleD you can't bypass ads if they are part of the data stream and not an external one, muxed in by the player.
@Justicar I wouldn't call that a suicide. It's more stupid placement resulting in frustration. Youtube has been a loss leader for years.
