Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months

Fuck yeah.
For anyone out of the loop, look into Freetube and Grayjay. There are other apps that do the same thing too, but those are good to start with.

Ads? What ads?
-
Yeah extensions on Firefox mobile is fucking awesome

If you see 0 ads and don't pay anyone, I'm not sure how the service could be sustainable. I'm also against ads but only if you're actually paying. That's why I do pay for a yt family plan but also use adblock+sponsorblock.

I'm very surprised you got downvoted for saying that
-
It's not. Why do you want it to be? It's one of the most enduring social media monopolies, and it should be brought down. The more they lose revenue, the more they are forced to squeeze, the more they enshittify, the more people are pushed to make and use alternatives, and the stronger those alternatives get.
Honestly once youtube's network can be usurped by something like peertube, I think that might be the ballgame for centralised social media. It is the hardest one to topple because of bandwidth costs, which means once it goes the case for needing a corporation to fund our networks kind of collapses with it.

Me too. I never try to come off as pushy on the topic. Just suggesting an option, but man… people haven’t responded well to it in the past.

Can't weight!
-
This is the way. Just make sure to disable the YouTube app on your phone so links people send you don't open in the app.

Revanced, unlock origin solved the ads issues on android and on the browser.
Anyone have a (free) solution for Google tv?
-
Let's just say, unless YouTube crosses people's bottom lines and there's an alternative being actively advertised, people won't move.
Otherwise, they push that bottom line further.

Does Firefox on iOS have extensions? I have to use Orion by Kagi to get extensions on iOS.
