Thank you. I needed this.
I give up, this has really let me down.
Cant you just use a thirdparty youtube ui url?
You aren’t doing youtube correctly.
PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube
Mobile: revanced, newpipe
Are you rick-rolling yourself? Derp.
How does one Rick roll people who don’t do YouTube correctly, which is most everyone?
FreeTube has an Android fork now that works just as well as the PC version.

Honestly, I have Firefox + ublock origin in Mobile too
Same.
I can’t believe I’m about to suggest this, but use a YouTube short version since those don’t have ads.
Nice! May I recommend you share that with all of our professional rickrollers? (Or may I share it there?)
I’ve literally rickrolled thousands of people and i didn’t hesitate for a second to click on that link. wow. (﹏;)
Go for it!
Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers
Given that ad block users are usually tech savvy and have been around the net a while: We already know the URL and can detect Rick Rolls before clicking on shit.
I have an ad blocker and I tend to recognise the link, but even when I do, I ~choose to click on it for the fun of it.😌
Yup I will usually happily walk into a rick roll. I just enjoy the music. lol
Sad reality indeed that to punk an online user with this classic requires for the said user to be tech savvy
Wrong! I blocked the link with my adblock.
Lazy, I just recognize the url from getting rick rolled so much.

XcQ, link stays blue
A friend of mine helped me set up a Star Trek automation where the lights turn on and a Star Trek LCARS video plays on my TV.
Went to demo it only tk discover he’d changed the link to a rickroll. I love that trolling bastard
lmao that’s a good one
Eh, too much work.
XcQ, no thank you!
Watch this vid for a good explanation on how to avoid the issue:

I don’t mind adverts for free services but YouTube take the piss now.
And Amazon. Paying Prime members still have to watch ads.
Fuck u peasant! What are you going to do about it?
Pirate Content?
Use VPN to get YouTube premium for India price?
🐸
Even premium isn’t safe nowadays
What ticks me off is Stack TV. I pay for it and I still get huge ads on the bottom and right edges, telling me to subscribe to Stack TV.
Wasn’t there someone who bought youtube ads and had the ad be a rick roll?

Just use a different site here
I was saved by the cookie approval pop-up tho.
It is official, vanilla internet is fucked.
You could try SoundCloud, been spending a lot more time over there lately.
A Rick Roll is a link to a domain that disables your ability to close your browser and maxes your volume.
Youtube links have never been Rick rolls.
If seen a lot of pointless gatekeeping in my day but this one may take the cake for most meaningless.
relevant username
I disagree. This is an important issue
Hmph, speak for yourself. I dunno how you sleep at night, what with all your illegitimate Rick rolls 'n such
I dunno how you sleep at night
Very well, actually. You should check out [email protected], it might change your life!
I see someone doesn’t understand the definition of Rick Rolling…
Dude… my kid will never get to experience this. I didn’t even know this existed. Every other one of the links in here was waiting for me to hit play, too.
LOL! What app are you using to give such a warning?
You can’t do either of those things on modern web browsers lol, what are you talking about?
This is just false, I don’t know where you got this idea
