I did. That’s my opinion, most people won’t care I care, but most people don’t.

They absolutely have their users by the balls and I guarantee most people will continue to use the app after this, unfortunately.

Top one is the power brick for the Xbox One (the original, VCR-looking one) and the bottom one is the Steam Link.

For those curious what “adblockers said really happened”:

[AdGuard] suggested that the issue may have been linked to popular community-maintained filter lists like EasyList and uBlock’s Quick Fixes.

A new filter rule added to EasyList on August 11, 2025 targeted telemetry requests thought to be tied to YouTube’s view attribution and analytics.

That rule remained in place until September 10, when it was temporarily disabled.

A similar change was added to uBlock’s Quick Fixes on September 10 and removed on September 17.
