This is madness. I have ad blockers on my computers but if I’m watching on my tv or phone, I am bombarded. They may finally have broken me and force me to get YouTube premium.

We discussed this very same thing today. It’s gotten really bad.

YouTube premium.

It’s worth it. I use YT a lot and it would be hard to go back to having ads.

Start the video then jump to the last 30s and let it finish, click the replay button and watch add free. It's the only way I've found around it

Pro tip: Fast forward to end, then hit replay. No ads.

I caved into premium. Annoying when my kid is watching his monster truck shows and some transgender or racism bullshite ad pops up. It’s worth the extra $ plus YouTube music is pretty solid.

For me it's not just about being worth it. I follow several bushcraft dudes, and they make their living based on their youtube videos. I don't mind paying for YT Premium knowing it goes to support their channels and content.

I look away out of spite. I know it doesn’t count, but still.

YouTube Vanced is what I use on Android not sure if it works for iPhone. It works as a stand-alone app separate from regular YT but it has all the features minus ads.

YouTube Vanced download site

I wouldn't do it on my own but if you have a family or a group that will split the cost it's totally worth it.

Install the vpn extension called Luna if you have an iPhone. Not an app and takes about 30 seconds to install. Not sure if it works for android but you can check. I got it about two weeks ago and I haven’t had a single ad on YouTube since

Some of those commercials are 45 minute infomercials. It sucks when you're cooking dinner and one pops up.
