Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.
I think the ‘shady company’ part of paying is an important consideration.
Correct, if they weren’t user-hostile, it would have been more likely I would have built up some good-will towards them and would be happy to pay.
