AdBlock Pro for Safari also blocks YT, but without much ado and without hacks.

It just uses the old APIs for blocking video.

The bulk of the blocking work, however, is still done by the recommended blocking API.

So far Apple seems happy with that.

It's such twisted economics for somebody to make a video, a platform to distribute it and an adblocker company to reap the benefits through its subscription fees.

I'd argue the same folks are ok with looting Neiman Marcus stores during some protests because "they've rigged the system and are all rich anyways"

The one I posted is free, I have no idea why you're answering to me.

I also don't like people doing bad things other people's property. This is why I use AdBlockers: to prevent those platforms from running shit I don't want on my computer.
