    Most people use YouTube without an addblocker. In which case, your content comes with about ten times the amount of advertisements than if you’d use a TV.

    While we’re at it: I remember when opting into adds was a choice for creators on YouTube. Quite a few refused, even popular channels. Can’t imagine growing up with this shit now and thinking it’s normal.

      I used both Firefox, but after foxfire had some shit with selling info I went back to using brave. Brave has the best youtube ad blocker ever.

      And yes, I am aware that brave has its own info stealing shit.

        I use Newpipe on mobile. The app has issues from time to time, but I’ll take those over YouTube pr*mium any day.

          I was ecstatic with NewPipe for months. But now I’m getting an error message saying I must log in to YouTube to protect the community. Just me?

          Whenever NewPipe or PipePipe has an issue I switch to the other one (exporting and importing data takes 30s). Always worked so far
