My mother is in the ICU, and her life depends on an urgent, life-saving surgery that costs $700.

For three whole days, we haven't received a single donation. Three days of absolute silence and agonizing waiting.

The heartbreaking reality? We have only raised $3 out of $700.

My mother is slowly dying because we cannot afford her treatment.

The amount someone might casually spend on a cup of coffee is literally the price of my mother’s next breath.

We don't have the luxury of time. We don't have the luxury of pride. We need your help immediately.

Please donate whatever you can; even $1 makes a huge difference.

If you cannot donate, reblogging this is a must. It might reach someone who can help save my mother's life before it's too late.

We've reached $122 out of $700 for my mother's urgent surgery.

Only $578 left.

Copy and pasting from Reddit user Mike J Smith on the Reddit page for ublock origin, an adblocker extension:

"Condensed Update for Newcomers:

YT is making a concerted anti-adblock push via a tattler script tied to a "3 strikes and you're out" style warning message.

Each time you click on a video that WOULD have shown you ads, the tattler script detects that you blocked it and you're given a warning popup. This can be X'ed out of quickly, it's just a warning.

After 3 warnings on a given account, it no longer allows you to close the warning popup, thus acting as a soft block on that YT account until YT's tattler script no longer detects ad-block running. As of right now, it does not lock your other Google services and it does not count as a traditional account ban.

To protect the new tattler script from our jamming efforts, YT is also updating it at least once a day and sometimes multiple times, basically trying to force us into a war of attrition in coding hours. This naturally has put a MASSIVE strain on the volunteer team and will probably result in extended outages on YT as they try to keep up. They are holding their own, but just barely.

None of the uBO team are paid for this, they are volunteers with day jobs. The success of their efforts will depend largely on what YouTube decides to do next, because fighting their legions of paid coders off indefinitely would be impossible. If YouTube wants to kill adblock forever with sheer force, it's within their power - we are all hoping they're just "shaking the tree" to see what falls out and they'll stop once their accountants are satisfied.

The soft block is only tied to the individual account, not the IP. Thus, FreeTube still works fine and you can still view videos logged out. If you export your history, subs and playlists to Freetube, the only thing you've really lost is your ability to comment. I miss it, but not enough to give $20 a month to a pack of scavenging vultures.

So What Do I Do Now???

Look at the original post in the original thread, find the bold headline midway down that says "I followed the 4 steps, but I'm still experiencing issues". Directly below that is a line that says "The latest fix for anti-adblock was made on [date] and currently corresponds to ID [xxxxxxx]".

The ID refers to the version of YouTube's tattler script that it is capable of defeating. Compare that number to the bottom line on this list: https://pastefy.app/G1Txv5su/raw. The listings look like: "https://www.youtube.com/s/desktop/ea2534f4/jsbin/desktop_polymer_css_polymer_serving_disabled.vflset/desktop_polymer_css_polymer_serving_disabled.js". The bolded portion is the ID number you want to compare it to.

If the numbers are the same, then the tattler has been temporarily neutralized by the volunteer team. Once you purge and update your caches, soft locked accounts will be open again and no warnings will be issued. Use it while you can. Don't forget to purge & update or it won't work.

If the numbers don't match, the volunteer team hasn't caught up yet and the tattler script is still active. You will still be warned and soft-blocked. Give them 4-5 hours to catch up."

The countdown to the new year brings more brutality in Gaza. Israel is banning thirty-seven aid organizations at midnight, January 1 2026.

Perhaps simplifying and presenting in fractions might help. Imagine being in a room of 33 people. Half are children. Now imagine an explosion hits. One of those people is dead. Three are disabled by injury. 30 of you discover your homes are destroyed.

Now Israel is banning aid organizations. Every time aid is blocked, the price of supplies soars. Price gouging reaches incomprehensible levels as dying people pay anything for enough food to survive another day.

Please, please help Ahmed (@ahmedaldani333) and his family escape. Things are going to get worse in the new year, and I fear deeply for him and his family.

Hi, I was born from nothingness in Gaza and I am trying to connect with people who will help me publish my story on Tumblr.🍉

I am Engineer Walid Al-Qatrawi. I am 34 years old. Father of Adam, Hala and Nay. I have been living in the Gaza Strip since I was born.

After entering heaven to start implementing this morning .. Participating in rebuilding our lives as before with all the components of a wonderful life,, and at that time a partial dose was born in Gaza .. And of course with the lack of components and the loss of the lives of a large part of the milk hospitals .. And because of the danger of the operation because of that I hope to help me publish my story and support even by participating with a short call or through a comment or support even a little.

With the arrival of winter, rain, and bitter cold, my children in the tents face even greater difficulties 💔

Thank you from my heart

As the date of birth approaches, we find ourselves struggling to cover the costs of the cesarean section, in addition to the basic medical and health needs of my wife.

With no income and the enormous challenges we face daily, we reach out to our community for support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping us welcome our daughter into the world safely.

GFM unjustly terminated Fidaa's @fidaa-family2 campaign and she lost all of the funds she'd raised so far to help evacuate her family. She has to start all over with a new campaign.

Fidaa's campaign has been vetted here and here. Please consider donating to her if you have anything at all to give. Small dollar amounts can add up so never think you won't make a difference! If you have enough to buy a cup of coffee, consider skipping it to give to Fidaa instead. Imagine how frustrating it would be after months of fundraising to lose what you've worked hard for. We need to show Fidaa our support now more than ever!

You can also donate through Paypal directly.
