Re:You can bypass YouTube ads by adding a dot after the domain by Nextgrid on Wednesday June 10, 2020 @07:46PM (#23483505)
This does nothing for a privacy point of view which is also a big reason for blocking ads. It's actually worse for privacy because you're now giving Google validated billing details instead of just the pseudonymous identifiers they use for tracking.

There's also no reason to give out 10 bucks to Google where only peanuts of that will go to the creators when you can split it across creators directly through Patreon or even a bulk donation once a year.
