 @ScriptFanix @stux There's an extension called Sponsorblock that skips all sponsored segments of a video. I don't know how well it works, but it's still something. @ScriptFanix @stux eh I prefer the video sponsorship to the ads, bc at least in that case the money's going to the creator of the video  @raphaelmorgan @ScriptFanix @stux I agree. And video sponsorship don’t need any tracking. And the creator can refuse some of them (compared to Google ads, at least).  Other ad-free options: - NewPipe (and there's a SponsorBlock fork too: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe ) [makes sense on mobile] @emacsomancer Unfortunately my SmartMonitor does not embark Android. It's a Samsung device I plugged a ~$20 android stick device into my Samsung smart-tv to avoid this sort of issue. @ScriptFanix Maybe you could use NewPipe , individio.us , piped, youtube-dl, mpv, VLC or something like that. Paying an abusive, targeted advertisement company is something I'd never do. I even regret having to use them, sometimes. I'm also switching to Vimeo+PeerTube+any-nonGoogle-video-plataform.  @ScriptFanix @stux You know... what? If we want to get out of this ad interested hellhole the internet has become, we will need to start paying directly for the stuff we use. It's odd that people seem ashamed of paying for YouTube in particular @stux ads before or during videos are one thing cause i have to watch them to watch the video i want. But the ones after videos are especially annoying cause once the video ends it's time to browse comments or other videos, and i have to stop it every time. Since there's nothing to see after them theres no reason to watch them so do they really achieve anything besides being an annoyance? @stux I know, that this is not a solution for every situation or device, but I use NewPipe on my smartphone and uBlock on Firefox on my laptop. @stux
For those like myself that use Ublock Origin ads on Youtube are a foreign concept. I have heard of such things but don't experience them. @stux I think, Google has financial problems, trying to get more money out of users content. ... Perhaps it's a good time to let YouTube die. Show them that you don't want their ads. I think PeerTube is a good Option.  @stux More after this message from Manmower 4.0! I've been using their new mower on my nether regions, and my sad, lonely existence allows me to imagine what it would be like to be close to someone, physically. Click the ad link below to fool yourself into thinking 20% off your order for a product you have zero use for is a good use of your money! Don't forget to like and subscribe, and share this video on your socials!  @stux @ranx i think youtube tries to reach some sort quota of ads per user per hour, if i have been watching on desktop with adblocker for a while there's like an ad at every possible opportunity when i start watching on mobile, but it gets a bit less after a while of continuously watching on mobile. @stux   |

I have to admit, I got so fed up with ads I signed up to YouTube premium. Yeah, I know...
