How does anyone watch youtube these days? I wouldn't mind seeing an ad or even 2, but it feels like youtube is singling me out for special treatment. I'm not going to watch anything if i'm scared a 30 second ad will interrupt the video.
- Digit-Al 1y agoUse Firefox or Zen browser with uBlock Origin. I never see ads on Youtube anymore.
- abnercoimbre 1y agoSprinkle some SponsorBlock on top and you're golden.
- robinsonb5 1y agoIt might be coincidence, but I've noticed the ads get slightly less obnoxious if I religiously abandon the video and close the browser tab any time the ad is more than 10 seconds long and unskippable. I'm sure they're monitoring closely to see what people will and won't tolerate.
- hidroto 1y agoi use the rss feed of the channels i am subscribed to and download the videos i want to watch with yt-dlp. i may browse the homepage every so often but i just copy the links and download them.
- hdgvhicv 1y agoI subscribe. I earn a decent amount working in tech, I’m more than happy to pay for content.
