Wait… people PAY for YouTube?
I can’t stand watching ads. Ads waste my time. My time is valuable. I’ll pay for no ads.
I don't see any ads on YouTube and I didn't have to pay them.
Does this work across platforms? iPad? iPhone? AppleTV?
Apple intentionally locks down their platform, so it's harder to use any workarounds
I'm on Linux, Windows, and Android. On all 3 I have Firefox with ublock origin addon.
My TV is a small computer plugged into my TV. I use a wireless keyboard that has a laptop mouse touch pad on it. It's a perfect setup.
Adblockers, ReVanced, SmartTube, etc. No ads and no fee.
New Pipe is opensource
I have it but revanced is a much better experience overall. I also pay for Premium so I get downloads but if youtube included swipe controls for brightness and volume I wouldn't need revanced. Though the skip segment stuff is good.
So you pay to support a platform that treats the creators of the content you watch like garbage…
I find that…. Weird. But you do you. No judgement intended.
