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.

SmartTube is for Android, as is NewPipe. You need a Smart TV with Android TV. Other TVs do not have a way out.
Their way out is using an external device.
Of course, but it’s a bit misleading. I thought it might be helpful to add that comment.
SmartTube is for Android
And the developer has left from what I read, its still working for now but Im starting to see a few videos that wont play
Huh? Last release is from three days ago and the last commit to SmartTube’s GitHub repository is two hours old.
Where did you read that the developer left?
You need a Smart TV
No.
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.
Don’t forget to use ublock and adguard !
Then there’s me using Revanced and Unlock Origin
maybe adblock is good
What is adblock? Can someone explain it to me like I’m five?
The day ad block stops working is the day I stop using sites with ads
I mean, I’m not.
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.
The other day I was doing dishes and couldn’t skip the ad, so I let the whole 90second ad run. Guess what followed? Another 90second ad.
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.
