Vanillo (Not open source sadly) and PeerTube are the best options we have right now
What is adblock? Can someone explain it to me like I’m five?
Adblockers have been mentioned a hundred times, as they should.
Annual reminder to donate to Invidious too. YouTube has done some serious work to try and block most of the instances.
For TV - SmartTube Next
For android - Youtube With Morphe Patches.
And, life is beautiful again!
Don’t forget to use ublock and adguard !
I mean, I’m not.
The day ad block stops working is the day I stop using sites with ads
For me it isn’t the length, but the frequency that is bothering me. It’s insain, it’s like every 3-5 mins depending on the video length. It’s unusable atleast in my case. Only watching from devices I have adblocker on now. Not my phone.
Like the other person commented, I use Firefox Plus adblocker on my phone and it’s fine.
Why not use adblock on your phone too? Like Firefox+Adblock(FF allows addons like on desktop)
Can you run Firefox extensions on iPhone?
Pihole+ublock+privacy badger = win
+sponsorblock
Who’s these users? I have an ad blocker. It does the job.
maybe adblock is good
Firefox/Ublock origin + adguard DNS + sponsorblock. My personal devices are not billboards, and they haven’t allowed ads in years
Edit: youtube revanced on Android. Sponsorblock has saved me over 4 hours since I reinstalled the app earlier this year
and smarttube for android tv. i had friends over “wait, youtube without ads is actually enjoyable???”
You should look I to Morphe now. Apparently main dev of ReVanced left and made it.
I just realised i haven’t watched a single ad in like 2 years
Thanks ublock origin!
I haven’t seen an ad in 16 years. Thanks ublock origin/dns hole/not watching TV/not going to the movies/not reading magazines.
When you see the long ad, just close the fuckin’ browser window. Immediately. And then use something else.
They’ll only get the point and change if you stop giving them your eyeballs for shit you don’t wanna see.
youtube has ads?
Yeah, it is a great advertisement company, that lets you watch ads for free, but sometimes it shows videos that are not ads. I am glad that they are slowly patching up this issue. /s
might be hard to do if its a SMART TV/
Nobody in their right mind connects their TV to the internet. If they do, well they are already fucked.
Haven’t seen a YouTube ad on TV in years. SmartTube works great.
Whats youtube gonna do when everybody is using adblock and they run out of money
Stop funding their analytics department so that it’s easier to “accidentally” mislead the ad services department into telling advertisers that people are totally still seeing ads and getting paid that way anyways. That’ll prolong it for a bit
Then there’s me using Revanced and Unlock Origin
Also, if you have an Android TV you can use SmartTube there
