I use ublock origin on firefox and have never seen a youtube ad. Whenever I enjoy a video very thoroughly, I just donate money directly to the creator's ko-fi or something. It's a much, much smoother experience.
- notyourwork 3y agoI use an htpc (nvidia shield) so that’s not an option. Either way, I’m sort of tired of going out of my way to avoid a shitty user experience. If it sucks, I’ll do something else.
- pierat 3y agoIt definitely IS an option, but at the network level. https://pi-hole.net/ https://pi-hole.net/ It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.
- notyourwork 3y agoI guess you can dismiss my point, I’m aware of those options and frankly, not interested in deploying them. I have better things to do with my time and life.
- pierat 3y agoComplaining without action is pointless, especially when the action is so damned easy. So, why complain if you're not going to do something about it?
- notyourwork 3y agoI do something, it just doesn’t involve YouTube or other streaming services anymore.
- arbol 3y agoPihole doesn't block YouTube ads on the Nvidia shield. You need to run sponsor block on a separate machine. https://github.com/dmunozv04/iSponsorBlockTV https://github.com/dmunozv04/iSponsorBlockTV
- patrickdavey 3y agoI'm running a pihole at home.. but, I definitely still see YouTube ads. I don't see how it's possible with a pihole to block YT as the adds are served from the same domain. I guess you're only referring to the Amazon ads?
- BLKNSLVR 3y agoThis doesn't block YouTube ads though. Not for me anyway.
