    I would like to respectfully disagree here. Don’t get me wrong here, I’ve been using stuff like uBlock Origin for years. And I do not make money on my website, nor do I upload to YouTube and so on. (So I have no horse in the race)

    If “the deal” is you get to visit the website and do whatever they offer, and THEY sell your data and penetrate your eyeballs with shit you don’t need, that is the deal. Admittedly, I’m no lawyer so I don’t know if it’s “theft” if you don’t hold up your end of the deal here.

    Now, companies like Facebook and so on can fuck right off, and I will continue to block everything as long as I can, but don’t kid yourself if you for example like a YouTube Channel and block everything there, they will make less money, which can in theory impact their livelihood.

    Can anyone recommend a blocker that is as good as uBlock Origin and can white-list only certain channels on YouTube? Especially some niche guys i’d like to support without subscribing outright to their Patreon
