This is completely off topic, but does anyone miss the Play Store UI in the article image? Man what a throwback.

Yes, and that’s where the issues lie. It will never get better because there is no competition to force Google to improve and they know that. Therefore, free reign.

Ladies and gentleman, this is why competition is desperately needed. It’s only going to continue downhill from here…

Ha, I suppose that’s true. Damn you Zuck and the other data harvesters!

Hard for old Zuck to use my data to train his garbage products when I’ve never provided that data to begin with. 1 for me, 0 for the zuck.

I don’t care for Facebook one bit… but it’s alarming to see ANOTHER platform trying to block adblockers. First YouTube, then APKMirror, and now Facebook. Great… can’t wait to enter the adblocker blocking web era. Fucking Google, always making shit worse.

All you need to know is its a proposal by Google for a new web standard. Enough said.

Indeed. They are starting to piss me off with all their BS.

Dang, had no idea this existed. Thanks!

Tampermonkey along with this userscript. Works a charm!

I started getting the popups recently. Tried blocking the elements with uBlock, but in turn it would pause the video 2 seconds in. Pretty annoying. So I said screw it and installed an extension that would redirect the youtube watch page to an Invidious instance. Might as well make the transition now before they completely block adblockers for good. Screw Google!
