Yeah. What ads?
I'd love to know their cost of storing all the YT videos and serving them.

On desktop: uBlock origin (Vivaldi or Firefox). On mobile: Newpipe and AdAway (VPN mode, or rooted phone).
Firefox + Ublock also work on mobile.
On Android.
Yeah, I kinda assumed the people who cared about these sorts of things wouldn't be using an iPhone.

Still need a good strategy for blocking ads on my TV. Mostly watching YouTube through a Chromecast so I can control it from my phone
GrayJay seems to work for that.
PiHole can mostly block ads on propetiary software
Not YouTube because the ads come from the same "source", so blocking that DNS would mean blocking the actual video, too. That's my week understanding of it, at least.
Subbed to find out what your month understanding will be
My true fans will hang around for my year understanding.
Can't weight!

I don't hate them. I think 80% should go back to the creators though.
When theyβre every few minutes, screw that. I do.
