Youtube missing first entry?
« on: December 28, 2020, 07:42:00 pm »
This has been irritating me for a few days already (a week?). Call it OCD or whatever but this is not the way it should be  :-\ and I've no idea why...

Looks like you have an effective ad blocker.  I'm jealous.

YT has been putting ads in that position for me.  Nearly all of them about how to scam US taxpayers.   >:(

That has happened to me a number of times, and it was triggered by removing a video from my recommended list.  Have you tried signing out, clearing all cookies and signing back in again?

Same thing here. It's been that way for a month or two.
It's definitely ad blocker related (I'm using Opera with AdBlock), however, I prefer blank space to ads, so you won't hear me complaining.  :-+

Your video here?

You know, like those billboards that say your ad here.

Thanks guys, it's the ad blocker indeed. YouTube must have decided to show me an AD there not so long ago. Obvious when you know what it is, as always  ;)

I'd love to know which ad blocker you're using.  I have Adblock Plus for Firefox and it has been generally good.  It takes a bit for them to catch up when YT springs new things at it.

AddblockPlus works really well with keeping Chrome/Youtube at bay for adds

https://adblockplus.org/

Just to make sure you get the right one as there is a bunch with near similar names.

I thought you meant that the oldest video on Youtube had gone missing, then I realised I didn't know which one it is. A quick search showed that it's Me at the zoo. Learn some trivia everyday.  :-DD

Yes, it's ABP/Chrome, never get any ads in videos either. (until the sponsoring thing got out of hand of course... jlpcb/nordvpn anyone?  :'( )

I'm using uBlock/Chrome and the least it seems like it gets rid of the empty blocks as well  :-+
