That horrifying dystopian moment when your friend open their YouTube, and it’s full of ads
I’ve been paying for ad-free YouTube for almost 10 years now best thing I’ve done for the health of my subconscious
Discussion
NewPipe anyone?
Giving money to Google is a sin in my religion 😄
Downloading their videos with NewPipe and uploading to places that don't do ads (like Odysee) is good carma.
Brave Browser is free if you want to save Sats 😂
Even better: NewPipe is free (with a capital FOSS) if you don't want to share information with the censor-happy monsters at Alphabet. And you can download, as in real downloads to your hard drive, including the Opus audio files if desired.
there is also brave new pipe. with more sources
Try pipepipe with integrated sponsorblock for more marketing removal goodness
Why aren’t using an Ad Blocker? Can’t even fathom the idea of paying for YouTube.
Background play and downloads , no ad blocker really works on the app everything is inconvenient
Firefox + uBlock Origin or yt-dlp
Have never seen a YouTube ad, and wouldn't use it if I had to watch them.
