> We know how important it is for our users to browse YouTube without ads for free. And we hope to come up with a solution soon! No need to wait. Just switch to uBlock Origin where this is already fixed. Here's a guide if they still show up and you're using UBO: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/178yasm/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_16_2023/ https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/178yasm/youtu... (Basically you need to make sure you're up to date, and you disable any overzealous filter lists or custom filters so that the anti-adblock detection doesn't get tripped.)

It costs about 15 per month to watch YouTube without ads.

  No thanks

  You can't buy YouTube Premium everywhere.
  - missedthecue 3y ago
    Is there any place where you can't buy it, yet you get ads?
    - dchest 3y ago
      Yes.

  It's my browser running on my computer, I get the final say in how content is presented to me.

    Yeah it’s an intrusion in your private property

    The service is running off their servers, so they get the final say in whether to present content to you at all. Don't cry foul when your account is terminated.

      That's assuming GP has an account.

And then if you do get banned you have absolutely zero recourse. "Yeah, we banned you, yeah your ban was totally double checked by a human and it was deemed correct, beep beep. The decision is final. And no, we won't tell you why we banned you."

  That still won’t do what sponsorblock does for you with ads the content creator injects vs youtube

    And buying a movie on Blu Ray doesn't remove product placement
    - kjkjadksj 3y ago
      The sponsor block example would be more like if the blu ray of the tv show also shipped with your local network ads interspersed.

  I pay for it but i still get inferior service compared to ublock+sponsorblock+ff combo. I remember one year ago visiting my parents in another country and background play was disabled. The only reason to pay for me is tv&ytmusic

Or this as a good time / excuse to ditch YouTube, even if uBlockOrigin resolves it. Additionally, I'm honestly half-scared that they'll block my account if they notice me breaking their "Terms of Service" by blocking ads. So this is also serving as a good time for me to Degoogle my online presence. Screw them, I eagerly await their demise, as they've singlehandedly ruined the web and so much more.

  YouTube ruined the web by... Providing a free platform to host videos open to everybody? By allowing video creators to be paid?
  - zo1 3y ago
    I was referring to Google in general. Youtube is one slice of what they do. And it's also infected with the same perverse and subtle incentives when it comes to advertising.
