This thread is full of fixes, and i havw another one that im not seeing anyone mention so its not lost yet!

None of the fixes work or atleast don't work for long. I've tried everything. Moving to a different front end etc. don't really count as a fix to me because then you'll also lose your video recommendations.

I'm noting down fixes as I find them, and so far they are effective. However, our fixes face the same dillema as their changes - what one person can contrive another can work around.

We have the advantage of numbers, so we generate a wider range of work arounds, but our opponent can also see those work arounds (we share them freely) and so has an easier time countering them, i.e. they are faster at reversing each individual fix.
