I just realised i haven’t watched a single ad in like 2 years

Thanks ublock origin!

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.

Last time I saw a youtube ad was probably 2009. Or it might have been 2008.

YouTube revanced 👌

Ublock Origin, NewPipe, and Grayjay, haven’t seen a YouTube ad in over a decade. 😌

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.

Then there’s me using Revanced and Unlock Origin

Don’t forget to use ublock and adguard !

maybe adblock is good

The day ad block stops working is the day I stop using sites with ads

Where?

Oh! On the web interface? n_n I don’t use the web interface. It’s video, so I use a video player. I see no ads, ~ if I do [like ads read out by the podcast host], I skip ahead.

on YouTube’s TV app

That’s where you went wrong. Come to the free software community. We can mend bugs (like malicious features (like ads)) with free software, being free to use, study, share & change the software.

I mean, I’m not.

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.

Who’s these users? I have an ad blocker. It does the job.
