Smart tv’s are doing it now too, if you pause anything, ads.

That Youtube premium tastes so crisp, so fresh.

Peak content mentioned. Fuckin love this shitload of fuck.

Use ReVanced version, one of the adblockers that YouTube doesn’t identify, or at least VPN with Russian IP. I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in **ages.**

at least the ads in Night City were kinda funny and over-the-top. I would kinda find it funny if the mcdonalds ads had some unhinged shit in them but nah we just be sellin the same slop burgers

Soon you’re gonna have to watch an ad to respawn faster in fps games or something.

The real heroes of the internet are the people developing adblockers. They’re the only ones that make naviganting this hellscape somewhat bearable.

Leaving the YT app on a phone in the background while doing other stuff is hell. Every 5 minutes some garbage song some talentless hack paid for as an ad. A full song as an ad. Two in a row. Sometimes I get full podcasts as ads. Like, hour+ long! Wtf?

Youtube use to be such a great website and resource. It is now plagued with endless ads. All the time. Its despicable

You need a student email from anyone to subscribe to a student plan. It’s much cheaper. Or you need ublock plugin to block ads on your Firefox.

Its only getting worse now that countries are clamping down on what can be in that platform do too new nsfw rules.
I am glad i am no longer on that platform i used to make cash but now i know i would be banned LOL.
But yeah adds are horrible but next its black squares/id checks then adds that are KAREN approved and content made to conform to the new rules.
The way angry video game nerd swears i can see all the videos behind a id check behind the safe adds

Revanced is available for years, same as uBlock origin. It takes a second to find this solution and people still watch ads on YouTube and complain about it. This will never stop to amaze me as it takes longer to write posts like this than find and install uBlock origin or Revanced YT

Opera Ad Blocker + AdblockPlus block or suppress youtube ads after some recent update of their lists. Some ads are flashing but are suppressed instantly, others don’t even show. Sometimes youtube tabs crash when several are opened simultaneously. Overall, it is like having a firefighter’s mask and breathing apparatus in a room where air is replaced entirely by farts. I don’t like Opera, but it is okay for this and similar reasons.

I love it when I’m searching for some part of a video and I get 30s ad even though I saw a few seconds.

Brave browser. No ads on YouTube. Have fun!

Man i love AVGN.

I just found out chrome is disabling adblock and reenabling it.

Firefox + uBlock = none of that shit

Let me be the devil’s advocate for a second.
Video is the most demanding kind of media to serve, as it weighs a ton, and requires quite some processing. Also, youtube has 20 years worth of video hosted, plus the thousands of hours worth of video uploaded every second.
This means operating a video site like YouTube is always a loss endeavor, so they need to pull money somewhere. But add the usual big tech greed of nowdays, and you have what we are seeing today.

Ublock for desktop revanced for mobile. Haven’t watched a YouTube ad in a long time

YouTube without adblockers is now worse experience than torrent websites were in the early 2000s.
To be fair, Night City is surprisingly light on the ads. It’s not much more than just a city center.
When I hear the words “capitalistic dystopia”, I imagine deep advancements in human augmentation, all for genuinely extending human abilities, with the side effect of low effort ads in your dreams, as well as streamed to your optical nerves every time you close your eyes, and ad overlays when you’re just doing stuff. Beyond that, ads in your house, in your media, in your neighborhood, on the buildings, in space, everything is competing for space and attention by means of size, color, sound, brightness and actual corporate warfare, and stepping outside feels overbearing as shit. I also imagine you having to pay multiple subscription fees for every augment you have on you, but that’s a whole another story.

Imagine not using adblock in 2025 and complaining about ads

At least the Night City ads are fun. Personally I’m ready to watch Watson Whore.

The video is always getting in the way of watching ads.

I do everything through a desktop PC on my big-screen TV. I use Firefox with ad-blockers, and since i started doing that almost 15 years ago, i haven’t seen an ad out outside the occasional glitch. I don’t know how chrome users even exist, and i ESPECIALLY don’t know how people use disgusting smart TV interfaces

Have you tried “Brave”?

My adblocker is permanently enabled. They can go suck it.
