Between uBlock in the browser, ReVanced apps[1] (YouTube, Twitter/X, TikTok), DNS ad filtering[2], and Spotify Premium, I don't see ads. It takes some effort but isn't that hard for an HN poster.
Also, I'm quite skeptical of caffeine and aspartame being bad for health (in adults at least).

- google234123 3y agoSo why Spotify premium and not YT premium?
- stevenicr 3y agonot op - but I have been doing YT premium for about a month now, and find the music thing lacking immensely. If I wasn't doing 30 hours of training / learning each week with YT I would not pay for premium. Yet I have paid for premium https://DI.fm https://DI.fm for years and everyone tells me that spotify is really good at curation / playlists / discovering new stuff.. I could see if just using YT for random entertainment stuff not seeing real value in it overall - it could easily be replaced with videos hosted on FB or Insta or anywhere else basically for a lot of people.
- blfr 3y agoReVanced integrates SponsorBlock in addition to omitting regular ads and has some cool features like custom/definable playback speeds.
- google234123 3y agoYes… but you aren’t supporting the creators or the devs or servers that run the videos… Would you pirate all your music if it was easier?
