Ads are the reason I don't both with phone and tablet games anymore. If I want to game on the go I take the Switch with me. Same for my son (5yo). I also don't let him watch YouTube on my phone or tablet, only the computer where the ads are perfectly blocked thanks to uBlock Origin. I run Pi-hole but it is not perfect on mobile devices. I was very tempted at getting YouTube Premium but at £11.99 a month I feel it is too much. I would have gone for it if it were £6 or 7 but something about £12 makes me question how much value it is really giving me. Pricing psychology is strange like that. Not to mention YT Premium only removes the YouTube ads not all the sponsored content that is a part of the video. That is becoming a bigger issue imho but not part of this discussion.
It sucks though in some ways as there are some great mobile games but they are ruined with adverts often with no way to remove them. Some games have an ad-free version for a few quid but most don't. Clearly they can make much more spamming ads every other death than they can with a one off payment of a £3-5.
