There is no adblocker on TVs, so YT premium is actually nice for that, also listening on YT on phone without screen on is very nice

I connect my PC to my TV so I can use adblocker💀

If ios then I don't know since I use android (maybe brave browser?).

But on android you can actually install plugins on Firefox app like a pc so get ublock origin and have fun.

joveice t1_ja4pco6 wrote

All browsers on iOS apparently runs on top of some safari stuff so they don't have that much freedom in what can be done (so no plugins :( )

I myself love uBlock origin on Firefox on my android

Meme-Replacement t1_ja54ak2 wrote

Then use brave as they add the ad blocker in the browser engine itself

joveice t1_ja55lgf wrote

Neat! Will recommend to iOS friends

You see those ads of paying for better service without ads those are bisically tv premium

Sir_Honytawk t1_ja7fd0v wrote

You can install Blockada or Adaway on your phone to block ads.

You can install a Pi Hole to have the same on your TV.

I just cast from PC/phone, both have ad blockers

Sjoerdvs t1_ja2v1tv wrote

Casting doesn't work like that. You'll still get ads.

AlphaOmega5732 t1_ja2xgv8 wrote

Oh your right it doesn't work if it casts from my phone, only works with AdBlock and PC casting

i disable adblock for things i want to support. GOOGLE is defnietly not one of them. these fuckers wont earn a single impression or click from me as long as they live by the motto: "dont be NOT evil"

YT premium gives money to the content creators you watch

BLM-trans-jennifer t1_ja4g3sq wrote

i can send them Donation using PayPal, there Google does not steal a single Cent from me or the Creator

SchwarzeKopfenPfeffe t1_ja8u3dv wrote

We both know you're not doing that. Besides, not every creator has a PayPal or any donation link.

uBlock origin is great, it even blocks yt ads

killbot42 t1_ja4wx5w wrote

Can you download songs?

Positive205 t1_ja6boav wrote

No, uBlock is just for blocking ads. Not downloading songs. Use yt-dlp for that.

1_d0nt_care_ t1_ja3smda wrote

AdBlock is great too
Edit: AdBlock is the name of the company

Positive205 t1_ja6bm5e wrote

uBlock is literally an adblock.

1_d0nt_care_ t1_ja6mqt1 wrote

I mean the Ad blocker AdBlock

i have used it in the past, uBlock is better

EquivalentAd2178 t1_ja31nk6 wrote

There's an exploit on Android and TV/Console where you click the i with the circle around it and click "Don't recommend ad", but you need an account for it, and ad personalization.

Radplay t1_ja3bqer wrote

Or you can just use ReVanced on Android phones.

LostMyCatMaybe t1_ja3pno6 wrote

ReVanced doesn't work on TV. We have SmartTube app for that.

Radplay t1_ja3w2nu wrote

Yeah, I should've said "Android phones". Gonna edit it now

TON_THENOOB t1_ja2qam0 wrote

How is the provider supposed to make money then?

Redstoneboss2 t1_ja2urg0 wrote

Good point. Though if the ads on the site are very intrusive, they don't deserve any money.

23

KaelthasX3 t1_ja34oed wrote

That's not the right approach. Ask yourself if content they provide is worth the money they ask. And for YT I would say it is. Unless you want to go with Nebula.

Redstoneboss2 t1_ja36fqc wrote

There are multiple factors to consider when choosing to block or not block ads. It would take me a whole essay to list them all. Yours is also one of them.

math-explorer t1_ja38etl wrote

Maybe the ads became intrusive because the site is desperate for money, and they became desperate for money because too many people were using AdBlock to begin with so their revenue dropped. If a site has to pick between shutting down vs intrusive ads, they will pick intrusive ads.

Redstoneboss2 t1_ja3h5rl wrote

And maybe too many people were using Adblock because their ad system is crap to begin with.

LostMyCatMaybe t1_ja3q39h wrote

Like they used to when the web was young. Ads used to look like static billboards on pages which were same for everyone.

The current norm of stealing personal information to create a profile for targeted advertising is disrespectful of user's privacy. We shall not respect those who do not respect us.

Sir_Honytawk t1_ja7g7pp wrote

By respecting their users and not overloading them with personalized ads and track them without permission.

Adblockers are just a response to greedy ad services that keep inconveniencing users for more profit.
If they just stuck to banners, nobody would be using them.

HealthyMaintenance49 t1_ja47nbz wrote

Or just use Brave, chromium browser with default adblocker in it

Moving to Russia to remove all ads completely.

friedfryer t1_ja443x4 wrote

It includes a Spotify premium equivalent with YT music, so… 2 birds 1 stone really

What ad blocker you guys use? I just got a pc

TFW_YT t1_ja72trn wrote

Ublock origin is apparently the best

Reading about how advertisers use your data is actually disgusting.

Some websites after installing AdBlock: Please, turn off AdBlock:(

Me: Continue without disabling.

WhenChipsFly t1_ja5nlqn wrote

i once went on a website that asked me to either turn off adblocker or purchase 30 minutes of being on the site for like 1 cent.

Sir_Honytawk t1_ja7gar0 wrote

Lol, I just block the message with uBlock origin as well.

AlexDavid1605 t1_ja4yy6w wrote

Please explain "reduce ads"... Does it mean that you still get ads but not as much???

Iamexist_real t1_ja687zf wrote

The only use for yt premium is on mobile because the browser version is shit and the app has no ad blockers I can think of. If there are though please let me know

2

PossiblyLinux127 t1_ja6l9l5 wrote

Use ublock orgin on Firefox with security set to strict (content moderation is deliberately broken in newer versions of chrome)

Ublock origin is a general content blocker. It blocks malware as well as ads (ads are usually malware)

D3stroyerof3vil t1_ja5w8pk wrote

Mobile and TV exists. On PC, I agree but it's not a useless premium. And downloading stuff is really nice.

Adictzz t1_ja6cwn2 wrote

Spotify premium is good tho

TheGentleDoggo t1_ja72t95 wrote

I mean YT Premium is also for people that want to support the creators while having no ads

IndependenceExact679 t1_ja74faq wrote

Well... if you refuse to use spotify and you are on phone then go for it.

Edderward t1_ja7glf5 wrote

People saying this probably never leave their home. I am a YT premium subscriber, and during my travels in public transport I am happy that I can download videos and music to my phone (without ads I might add) before I go. Also the possibility to turn of my screen whithout the videos stopping is very nice.

Well if you don't want to buy ad blocker you can use Opera browser it has inbuilt ad blocker . I don't know about tv/console but it works just fine on PC and mobile.
