    Good article. Rather than relying on uBo people should just stop using services they dislike (YouTube) and move to something else. Of course many people don’t want to change what they’re used to.

      I feel like I’m living in a utopia since more of my YT usage comes from a Nvidia Shield TV with Smart Tube Next and YouTube Revanced on a phone, in a nutshell I have been unaffected by all this mess… For now.
