I just lost my premium subscription after about 2 years of paying $3/month in Argentina. Here it’s $24/month (family plan). YouTube is unbearable with all the ads. Sometimes a 10-minute video has 3 as breaks. I’m only using it for precise purposes now, not scrolling and exploring, and finding alternatives as much as possible.
Exactly. Why bother paying? Firefox + uBlock Origin on the computer, SmartTube Next on Android TV, ReVanced on Android phone. I haven’t been seeing ads on YouTube for years.
There are ad blockers on mobile browsers, too. Besides, there are other ways to block ads, like DNS blocklists. Or if it’s just for Youtube use an alternative
front-end like Piped or Invidious or Grayjay for built in ad- and Sponsorblock

OK, am I the only person that has a working ad blocker and doesn’t get YT ads? Literally never seen one.

If you’ve used YouTube on anything besides a computer, then you would know that the experience is suboptimal.
