The original post I made about this is here.
At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @salarua@sopuli.xyz, and it seemed to work at first.
Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @Peekystar@kbin.social and, again, this seemed to work at first.
Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.
Does anyone else have another solution?
Pay for YouTube Premium. There are some countries with highly devalued currencies you can take a VPN trip to. There are some VPNs which let you book a free trial trip. There are also some virtual banks where you can get a virtual credit card to use on those trips. As a bonus you get YouTube Music to play on you Google Nest Mini. Actually… that's the only reason I pay for YouTube Premium, otherwise use NewPipe.
wouldnt they just ban your account for this? I mean its google they know where you live, unless you intent to always use google/youtube with your vpn on. I dunno
As far as I've heard, they might cancel or bump up/move the subscription, but otherwise you are allowed to use the service itself in any country regardless of where you registered for it. Don't put in false data like a fake address, but fortunately some countries don't ask for one, so… 🤷
Thats fair I guess, still seems too risky for me
Using a VPN workaround sounds like a potential account ban risk. Would not recommend for someone's main account.
