I prefer Tubular with Sponsorblock

  Do you know how it compares to LibreTube[1]? For the SponsorBlock integration; it works well for me, but I kinda miss the newpipe interface. [1]: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube

    I've never tried LibreTube. I am used to the new pipe interface and had all my subscriptions managed their so the move to Tubular was easy.

nowhere near comparable experience if you want to seamlessly use your YT account across a TV + phone + computer i'd rather pay the $10 than pay with my time by being an ad-block whack-a-mole diagnostician

  For those of us who are too cheap to pay the subscription: On my iPhone I almost never see YTube ads. I don’t use the YTube app and instead I install Chrome and watch YT that way. I lose notifications—which is perfect for me, since I don’t want many notifications on my phone anyway. This might also work in Safari but I haven’t tested it.

    On Android, Firefox with sponsorblock. I do pay for Premium though. In since YouTube Red.

  It's not comparable, it's superior! The youtube app stinks! And I don't care about "seamlessly" using it across my devices.

  I use skipvids.com across phone and computer and xbox. I'm too cheap to pay $15.99 per month

I mean it’s just $10. People are making livelihoods based off from YouTube. I get not liking ads, but if you have the option to go ad free for a low cost, why not do it? Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.?

  I refuse to give google any cent (and I also do not use youtube at all, so at least I’m consistent).

  I would prefer to pay that money to creators directly than to pay it to an adtech firm and trust that they'll dole it out fairly.

    Isn’t it a hassle to pay everyone for each video you watch? Do you use the Super Thanks feature or do it some other way?

  >if you have the option to go ad free for a low cost, why not do it? It requires the use of a google account and there is no way to even request opting out of the accompanying data harvesting. Any "curation" or "recommendation" that would inevitably happen is also an anti-feature. >Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.? No

  I find that all of Google’s ad products are under-moderated for malicious ads. It’s a choice on their part to not tightly control this—they certainly could, though it would harm their incredible profitability if they did more scrutiny on the ads they show. I personally don’t especially care to pay a premium not to see deepfakes of celebrities promoting crypto scams.
