I subscribed to YouTube a few years ago, haven't seen an advert since.
Youtube & Ads

I disagree: all we need is a competitor. Will Amazon step up to the plate?

When I'm listening/watching my youtube play list tend to just have forums or whatever open on one page and go back when adverts are done as the 20 second plus ones are irritating

I tend to watch quite a bit of youtube, mostly on smart TV, so i do pay for premium and its a lot better without the ads.

But that's the point of this thread right? We used to get less ads without having to pay £12/pm for premium.
YouTube ads? I thought this forum was full of tech heads.
Ublock Origin - no ads
Mobile app: YouTube Vanced - no ads. https://vanced.app/
Job done.

£12 a month to watch YouTube is utterly baffling to me, but then I suppose some would say it's not entirely dissimilar to paying for a subscription to Spotify where you can still use it with ads instead.
Google do seem to do their best to make giving them any money as unappealing as possible, their Google One tiers are equally baffling where it jumps from £25 a year for 200GB of storage to £80 for 2TB, no in-between. A £50 for 1TB option would be ideal for me, but alas.

You are mugging yourself off paying for it, https://vanced.app/ this gives all the same features as premium, for free.

Adblockers on PC & Mac. YouTube Vanced and Blokada on Android phone. What ads?
Blokada, that was the one I've been meaning to check out recently, couldn't remember the name. Cheers.

NewPipe is another one that doesn't use Google Play Services so it can be used on rooted devices... or so I've heard.
Mobile is the issue and I'm on iOS. That's for Android.
The only way to truly combat ads for Mobile is a Raspberry PI to set everything to go through its local DNS.
I do most of my browsing on the iPad which is usually blocked by other stuff but the Youtube app on iOS is neat and clean except the ad interuptions.

I watch a lot YT via the mobile app and I've seen a large increase in adverts recently. I don't have any problems with YT placing ads but the advertising content is comical at times.
From what I've seen half of Twitch streamers have sold there souls to shill for some crappy mobile game called Raid Shadow Legends and then there's some other idiot selling something called Arknights where he proceededs to swear at random things. Really not suitable for any kids who might be watching.

I've noticed Adblock Plus causes an initial error when you try and play YouTube videos lately.
