- brewdad 4y agoFreeTube has SponsorBlock built in if a desktop app works better for you. https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube
- yummypaint 4y agoFirefox with ublock origin blocks youtube ads seamlessly. I've barely seen an ad in years
- Benlights 4y agoIt blocks in video creator ads not Youtube ads
- ravenstine 4y agoMaybe you have it the other way around? I've been using uBlock Origin on YouTube for years and never see a single dynamic ad.
- rtepopbe 4y agoI think they were talking about SponsorBlock, which was mentioned on another same-level comment. Probably just didn't realize this was a separate sub-chain (or whatever you call it) without that context.
- scrapcode 4y agoAlong with uBlock, there's nice extension called SponsorBlock that uses crowdsourcing to block in-content ad placements. edit: Did not notice this was already mentioned. Sorry!
- manishsharan 4y agoI have always wrestled with the ethics of adblocking YouTube. If am subscribed to a channel, that means the content in that channel has value for me. And it is only fair that I provide some value to the content creators in return. Otherwise it is theft. Anyways this is my reasoning. Hence as much as I find ads to be annoying, I put up with them. I am considering cancelling my Spotify subscription and using the saving to subscribe to YouTube. I haven't done it yet.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoIt is not theft
- polishdude20 4y agoAt what point is it considered theft though? If I refuse to look at an ad when it plays is it theft? If I get distracted and not watch it for half the time it runs, is it half theft? If I watch the whole thing and don't actually click through, is that theft? There's no contract that I've signed that demands my full attention is on the ad. So, half my attention is ok? A quarter? How about none? Is it enough that I know so and so company is behind the specific ad without me knowing what the ad is about but just realizing it's to sell me their product? Is that enough? What IS the fair transaction in the case?
- dageshi 4y agoAt whatever point the content creator fails to get paid for the ad being "viewed" I would assume.

- unixhero 4y agoIt exists Revanced on Android Stube on AndroidTV
- broodbucket 4y agoSo there is an equivalent for Android TV! Stube = SmartTubeNext?
- unixhero 4y agoI realize this is the current branding. Yes you're correct. SmartTubeNext. It appears on the TV as an app called STube
- NaturalPhallacy 4y agoIs there something like this for iOS?
- jamiek88 4y agoOnly sideloaded.
- eiiot 4y agoI've been using uYou+[0] & AltStore for about 6 months (since I switched to iOS from Android & Vanced) and I haven't had any problems with it. It has both SponsorBlock & normal ad block. [0]: https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus
- hellojason 4y agoBrave browser blocks YouTube ads out-the-box with no additional extensions or configuring. I use Brave explicitly for YouTube.
