Does Adblock still work? I know I have one or two installed and I never used to get ads on my phone but I guess it just stopped working a while ago

Most channels I watch don't have ads so take it up with the ones that choose monetization knowing those garbage ads will be annoying the fuck out of viewers.

Thanks for making this topic man, you noticed too? I was literally wtfing yesterday/before yesterday when trying to watch a video and the ads were like floodgate. It's like they zeroed in on my location and account and just sent an endless barrage of ads.

This was right after my provider contacted me about "a new offer" so I was paranoid and suspected it's related, now they're tracking me and gonna plague my daily phone use with ads XD

click the little (i) in the bottom left and report the add for being irrelevant.

Then when the main video begins, skip to the very end of the video and hit the refresh button.

This will restart the video with 0 ads.

Same. I usually end up not watching a video. Sometimes its 2 ads, then it's an ad in the middle. Then one at the end.

Android can use uBlock Origin if you open the video in a compatible browser instead of in the Youtube app.

Yeah I watch youtube on my ps4. I would be fine with a 5 second ad at the beginning or end of a video but now its a double ad before, a 15 second ad every 5 minutes after that. Top that off with a two minute sponsor and I've had enough.

This, and don't forget some of the commercials will be like an hour long if you don't hit skip. Also instead of being placed at appropriate points in the video the ads will frequently interrupt the action mid-sentence.

That shit sucks though because browsers don't have the same level of accessibility as a dedicated app. And forget about compromising with game consoles and smart TVs :(

And how much would you bet that sooner or later, Google is going to lock YT to mobile apps/devices so they can either generate revenue through subscriptions or free ads? It will happen.

So shove a problem in our faces till we cave and give them money to remove the problem? Nah I'm good.

I work at one of those businesses and trust me, if they have no hesitation spending a thousand dollars on Office 365 or Adobe licenses, YT Red is worth pennies in comparison and unfortunately they're more important to Google than Joe Schmo, who will blast them online but then suck it up anyway because Dailymotion and Vimeo aren't competitive alternatives.

Google will win because we're kinda slaves to Youtube at this point until Amazon or some other shit corp makes a site.

God I fuckin hate ads. So annoying. I watch a lot of YouTube through my Smart TV app so I can't block ads there. I've considered getting YouTube premium just to get around them but that sort of feels like rewarding them. No thanks.

My adblocker stopped working on iOS, so the thing I use to watch Youtube, my iPad, is basically stuck with ads now, and the absolute fucking worst ads are always the ones I get. It's either a movie trailer, a forced unskippable SEVEN MINUTE political ad or ads in Spanish, which I don't speak, because my geolocation is Texas (where 90% of the population doesn't speak it either, and that includes lots of latinos).

Not every channel gets to choose to be demonetized. Youtube has sent me an email saying ads might show up on my videos even though I literally don't meet the requirements to be monetized. And unless it'd earn me enough money for me to quit my job, I wouldn't bother monetizing either.

Twitch is insane with their adblock battling. If only they put half the effort into their site that they do with adblocks, Twitch wouldn't be a shithole in some of their areas, but yeah. They focus completely on punishing anyone using adblockers.
