Howso? You think even in the event this wasn't being scraped, that there isn't a single dev from YouTube, or a YouTube adjacent team possibly here?

There's a large (relative) tech worker user base on Lemmy.

It was a joke.

And I think they are very much aware of uBlock. Unhooked got recommended to me by a Youtube video.

They know.

If they're going to find it on lemmy they're going to find it anywhere. Also, they already know about ublock origin, and its unlikely they'd even care about unhooked, since it doesn't block ads.

Not a remotely relevant comparison, and even if it was, completely ignores my second point.
