> Get rid of YouTube advertising without Adblocker
Pay for youtube premium.
Or if you have the energy to make an adblocker, instead of making an adblocker, direct it at some kind of project you could be paid for instead, and use those proceeds to get YT premium.
- thot_experiment 3y agoadvertising poisons the mind and it is unconscionable to believe only the rich should have the privilege of unadulterated thought, do not pay for YouTube premium, do not accept this as fair or just
- EduardoBautista 3y agoSo Google and the video creators should, not just provide the content for free, pay hundreds of millions of dollars for the privilege of having you as a viewer?
- calmworm 3y agoYou’ve described what YouTube used to be like.
- amadeuspagel 3y agoYes, losing billions per year, and containing mostly pirated content and cat videos.
- lnxg33k1 3y agoPoor google I hope they have enough to eat this Christmas:(
- HipOpotamus1489 3y agoI have to choose between an OnlyFans subscription and a YouTube subscription.
- gruez 3y agoYou might not have any interest in google "[having] enough to eat this Christmas", but you do have an interest in some sort of a free video platform existing.
- tetris11 3y agoBelieve it or not, people used to put quality content online for free, for the betterment of all people (not just the paying ones), and still do their day jobs.
- namlem 3y agoI sub on patreon to creators I watch a lot, or directly on YouTube for ones who have that enabled. You can become a channel member and pay directly without Premium. Tbh I would buy Premium if it wasn't bundled with YouTube Music for an inflated price.
- Crash0v3rid3 3y ago> I sub on patreon to creators watch a lot, or directly on YouTube for ones who have that enabled. Content creators deserve to be paid, even if you don't watch them often.
- namlem 3y agoThey they should get sponsorships. I'm not going to subject myself to YouTube ads, nor will I ever feel any amount of guilt over it.
- dangus 3y agoThis view depends on accepting the idea that advertising of all forms really does poison the mind and is a universal evil. But that idea in itself is, in my opinion, an extremist one. The act of informing someone else about something is baked into the social nature of our species. Without it there is no specialization, we are all creatures living alone as nomads focused on subsistence and survival. All you to do is watch monkeys teach each other how to use tools. That was basically an advertisement, a transfer of knowledge about a “product.” Then you have to consider ads that save lives and help society like public service ads for seatbelts, anti-littering, child seats, etc. Also, rich people see ads. They’re just different ads. Go to a yacht show in Monaco and you’ll see ads.
- RuggedPineapple 3y agoIm amazed that there are people out there without Premium. I guess I understand if you avoid google all together, but Youtube premium is a value add with basically every paid product google offers. I've had it since it was Youtube Red. Came with my Google Play Music subscription. Signing in for the first time on a chromebook gets you three months free. a Pixel phone comes with 3 months free. The first year of Play Pass was 1.99 a month and came with Youtube Premium. Fi's unlimited comes with a year of youtube premium. I've had premium for over a decade at this point and I can count the number of payments I've made for it specifically on one hand. It just comes with basically everything I was going to pay money for anyway.
- UncleMeat 3y agoFor years and years and years people have said "just let me pay to turn off ads." YTP is right there.
- cplusplusfellow 3y agoI have YTP but when I installed the app on my iPhone, they still served me Ads. I don’t see ads if I use chrome to browse to YT. Or on my desktop. Does anyone else experience this?
- probably_wrong 3y agoThere's one detail that discussions tend to ignore when talking about ads and YTP. But before that let me tell you about today's sponsor SouthVPN. Browse the internet securely and privately with SouthVPN. Use promo code "YTPHN" for 10% off your first three months. Now back to out comment: paying for YTP doesn't turn off all ads. Nor tracking, for that matter. Comment, like and subscribe for more content like this.

- Crash0v3rid3 3y agoYou can forward through sponsored segments. Or, maybe vote with your viewership and don't watch content creators that have sponsored segments.
- satvikpendem 3y agoOr I could automate the process via extensions like SponsorBlock.
- pests 3y agoFind better creators. They are the ones making the content, after all. Very odd to blame the platform for this.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoFinding clever ways to get around roadblocks is the hacker mentality.
- HipOpotamus1489 3y agoI don't have the energy to make an adblocker; I'm in Russia. There is no YouTube advertising here. So I checked my guess, and I was right!.. There are no Russia-targeted ads!..
- special-K 3y agoI don't think that is the best way to go about it, especially considering a majority of people can't afford to pay for a subscription on top of the many others that "Big Tech" has pushed. You will also be getting much more out of YouTube by using sponsorblock and other client-side modifications. YouTube Premium really doesn't seem as good of a value when you look at free and open source alternatives for most of its features. But each to their own I guess, especially if you're within a locked down ecosystem. I personally despise proprietary technology, though.
- jamesnorden 3y agoAh yes, the classic "hacker" tip, just pay the corporation.
- satvikpendem 3y agoJust as corporations have a right to refuse to serve me, I have a right to (try to) get served what I want.
