YouTube hack

[George K]

Someone posted a hack for getting rid of youtube ads.

Simply put a character (like a ".") at the end of the URL and reload.

Poof! Ads gone.

I've tried it with a couple of sites, and it seems to work - for now.

Apparently this is only for desktop machines and laptops. Not for mobile devices.

Nice! I will try it.

That'll be great for the 72 hours it continues to work.

@Aqua-Letifer which is why I said "for now."

It appeared to work. It squelched the initial ad. A few minutes into the video, another add.

I have never paid YouTube a red cent. If one does buy into an account, do these ads go away?

Didn't work for me. PC Windows 8. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk to the boss.

You misspelled 10.

Nobody would use Windows 8.

Mr. Trump, Antifa, Mr. Biden and BLM are in complete agreement on this.
