Doesn’t work for YouTube

I got the app specifically to block YouTube comments but it doesn’t work. Content blockers are on and YouTube.com isn’t on the whitelist. I’m not sure if it’s the app or YouTube developers finding ways to get around content blockers and force me to stay “engaged.”

One problem

I love this but I need this to block comments in the mobile app versions too. I upload art videos and I need the mobile app but I just need the comments to be hidden so I don’t get into useless arguments

Not Working

Dosent seem to work for newer iOS models which is disappointing. Really valued this when it used to work.

Used to work

This was so great. No more time wasting and aggravation. But with iOS 26 and on it doesn’t work anymore. I tried all the usual but comments still load.

I wish it worked for me

It’s a nice idea, and I’m sure it works on some sites, but it doesn’t work on YouTube, which was what I really needed it for.
