    The workaround is pay for YouTube premium.

    Edit: the above is is what the article says. Not my opinion. YT can get bent. Firefox + uBlock has been my “workaround” for years.

      Don’t shoot the messenger, they’re just citing the “workaround” from the article. The article also mentions using uBlock but only after writing two paragraphs convincing you that Premium is totally the solution to go with.

        I was just citing the article’s stated workaround since that’s what everyone will want to know.

          The Internet is full of people who can’t understand irony unless they’re slapped in the face with the /s.

        With all due respect, that’s exactly what the article suggests is the solution.

        Didn’t read it, did you?

          The article can say that the sun is blue, that doesn’t make it true - which is the point you’re ignoring.

          Because buying premium is not a workaround for an ad blocker not working, it’s giving up on the broken extension.

            I’m not going to debate you on that, but the original commenter was saving people the effort of reading a pointless article, and getting shat on for it.

            I didn’t think that was fair.
