Basically they are saying "You are too dumb to make profitable decisions, so we'll do it for you." They just use less insulting words for that.
So pretty much now they're automatically generated asusuming by what Google makes for you and the consumer watching the vids?

This on top of blocking out ad blockers. This is worse than the dislike button.

I think I have already said this, but if I not, there will never be na existence where something won't get circumvented, cause if so, then it'll lead to some form of lawsuits or something. The PS3 was the best unhackable device until people have found a software explot.

Louis Rossmann recently put out a video about an app called GrayJay that is basically YouTube Vanced /ReVanced on steroids.

Naturally, the video was removed for "violating youtube's community guidelines".

I guess one of the guidelines is "don't tell people how to avoid our ads."

Anyway, GrayJay: https://grayjay.app/

Plugins for individual video hosts: https://plugins.grayjay.app/

GrayJay looks great, and if I watched YouTube on anything other than my smart TV I'd probably already be using it... but, like I said, I only really watch YT on my TV, and Smart Tube Next performs superbly on my setup.

I don't even know what to rely on at this point, there are so many alternatives that it's confusing to tell which one is definitive or not.

Try not to have multiple adblockers up at the same time. One can be fine with bypassing Youtube anti-adblocker, while the other can trigger it, thus making you think both are being detected. I only use ublock origin, and it works fine.

They update their "adblock detector" twice a day. I'm surprise that Ublock Origin haven't used a wildcard mark or such yet for it, but I digress. I'm not a programmer.

I've yet to see this pop-up, though I tend to frequent smaller channels. I'll browse YouTube with Firefox, Chrome, or Edge with uBlock Origin as my only content blocker. I use the filter recommendations found at the following:

https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists

You can also grab more filters here, though it is not necessary, recommended, nor encouraged to subscribe to every list: https://filterlists.com

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.

    I think my favorite PS1 enhancement is sub pixel precision, helps get rid of some of those wobbly polygons lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.

    @K3Nv2, when the PS1 was out I had the PS1 the N64 and on PC I had the Voodoo 2 and glide looked soooo nice at the time 🥰

    Biliniar filters are OK but brz is better I like SuperEagle but out of all of them xbrz is probably the most computationaly expensive
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Emulation is the way to go for so many reasons NES get rid of flicker by turning off the sprite per line limit. Cheats? Ken Batocera is your friend almost every console has cheats in it
