Did Libretube (android) stop working because of this? Or is it just me?

Their probably testing it out for a small group of users first to test their behaviour towards it. Checking how many disable the Adblock vs leaves the site before rolling it out to everyone.

I will still use invidious while having muy subscriptions saved as RSS feeds so this change will go over my head

I know this may be blasphemy but if you use a VPN to sign up from certain countries you can get YouTube premium for like 25 bucks for the year. Haven't tried it personally but I've seen it mentioned a million times.

If they go to war with adblockers though some one smarter then me will probably come out with a way to just download the video and cut out ads post.
