If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it’s gone. So Youtube being Youtube.
Here’s a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.
Didn’t he say that using adblockers in YouTube was basically piracy?
Yes, he also said that piracy can be a personal choice, and showed how to do it.
he did, but didn’t condemn it.
Yes, and that he does it as well.
He is a big proponent of piracy.
He did, and I disagree with that point. Piracy is copyright violation, ad-blocking is TOS violation. They’re entirely different things.
That said, he said he understands why people do it and didn’t condemn it, and in this video shows how you can do it. I think that’s laudable, I just disagree with his assertion that blocking ads is in some way piracy.
I don’t get how that relates to ungoogling your life but OK.
No, I just find it strange coming this from him. Call it a collateral topic, these things happen in a discussion.
Because his video got removed for ad blocking and/or talking about third party clients
