Ads during YouTube videos are not pleasant for anyone. Users who do not want to get rid of ads by paying for the YouTube Premium service try to avoid them at least with the help of content blockers such as AdBlock and others. But Google, which runs YouTube, finds this behavior a thorn in its side, and has decided to get tougher.

Ever since YouTube launched its paid YouTube Premium service , it has been trying to get users to activate it in every possible way. YouTube Premium offers a number of benefits, the most popular of which are undoubtedly the absence of ads or the ability to play in the background or in Picture-in-Picture format. However, users are resourceful, and those who do not want to pay for YouTube Premium are trying to come up with all possible ways to bypass the measures associated with the free account. YouTube, in turn, is trying to boycott all these efforts for understandable reasons.
Users who watch YouTube in the free version may have recently noticed not only an increase in the number of ads, but also a warning that content blockers are disabled. From the aforementioned warning, users can click through to the option to activate YouTube Premium. According to one of the employeesancYouTube is experimenting with this to attract more premium subscribers. However, the move has been met with huge backlash from users, with people expressing their frustration across social media and discussion forums. Many users say they don't have a problem with the ads themselves, but with their ever-increasing number, as well as the fact that in many cases it is practically impossible to skip the ads.
Do you use content blockers, pay for YouTube Premium, or simply put up with YouTube ads?
Youtube without premium is an unusable platform for a normal person. Sure, you can get around it on your phone with adblock, or Brawe browser, on the computer too (but not without problems) and on the TV you simply can't solve it... So I pay and pay... The absence of competition gives the user no other option
I'm in exactly the same situation. I use YT on several devices, but I can't use it on a TV with the WebOS system....
But you have another option - don't watch YouTube. You hate ads, you hate paying…
I have no problem with ads on Youtube on PC, I use Firefox+adblock and that has always been the case 100% solution. I even remember the moment when I found out from a friend that there were ads on Youtube, but that was a long time ago. On iPhone and iPad I am very selective when it comes to Youtube, so I haven't looked for any yet 100% I don't even know if a solution currently exists.
Na iPhone I deleted the YouTube app and added it to Safari AdBlock pro. KoneIt's really watchable without having to deal with unnecessary delays with unskippable ads 👌 so far it's reliably blocked everything. It happened about 2 times that only the beginning of the ad flashed for a second.
Well, on a TV with Android or MMC, the Smart tube app will solve it.
the lucky ones with a touchbar simply watch the ad.
I kind of understand the meaning of ads, that's why I don't use adblocker, but it's true as someone writes here that I'm really overdoing it with ads...literally insensitivity. Once upon a time, when YouTube was in its infancy, there were significantly fewer ads, and the cost per video had to be much higher than it is today, so why do I overdo it with these ads?
when I once uploaded a video and marked that I didn't want ads in it, now it automatically puts them there and there are so many of them, as if I were asking for money for every view.
I personally don't watch YouTube enough to have reason to pay premium
