As a user of Firefox and uBlock, I haven't watched a YouTube ad in years, and I use it daily. Is Chrome really that bad that people buy premium to avoid ads?

- shortrounddev2 2y agoI forget where I read this but most people are watching youtube on smart TVs, with smartphones/tablets being #2. Most people who watch youtube do so on a platform where it is difficult to disable ads.
- josefresco 2y ago> most people are watching youtube on smart TVs Pretty sure mobile is still #1 Google had some blog posts on this, but they now redirect to their "Think" website homepage: https://business.google.com/us/think/ https://business.google.com/us/think/ I did find this, no idea how accurate: https://backlinko.com/youtube-users#youtube-usage-by-device https://backlinko.com/youtube-users#youtube-usage-by-device
- ezekg 2y agoThat's a good point. I guess I was only thinking about myself and my own YouTube consumption. My daughter does have to watch ads when watching YouTube on the TV. Now I might have to reconsider the $7 -- even if she likes the Kids ads! May be worth it just for that, since the ads can be borderline sometimes even on YouTube Kids.
