I have all kinds of software that are supposed to stop this. They don't work.

I even manually add the tracking domains and they still don't work.

Its called using third party front ends. The extensions just redirect and replace

Extensions or front ends?

For extensions I use libredirect and for YouTube I use invidious. Libreredirect redirects YouTube links and replaces embedded YouTube videos.

None of those frontends work. Every single time they just take me to a dead site.
