just a reminder that if YouTube blocks you from watching videos because you’re using an adblocker, you can watch YouTube videos from inside of VLC or MPC-HC

here’s an article on how to set up MPC-HC to be able to do that but tbh it “just worked” for me when I installed the K-Lite Codec Pack (which comes with MPC-HC configured to run all kinds of video and audio formats) with yt-dlp and ffmpeg installed

YouTube blocked me and now I’m just watching everything in MPC-HC and it’s honestly a much better, more responsive interface anyway - like it runs drastically better on my potato CPU

@kasdeya you can set up mpv to stream youtube videos lol

@kasdeya hot damn, already? Google is getting increasingly desperate about their ad-revenue models.

A favorite of mine to use as an alt-client is freetube https://freetubeapp.io/

It's allowed me to watch without ads.

Besides that, VRChat does have rooms you can watch ad-free YouTube videos in and you have it synced with any other person you're hanging out with
