It always amazes me that, when you have really shitty internet, the ads always load waaayyyy faster than the actual content. Shows you how insanely broken the incentives are.

The order of importance 🫣

Not always an option, unfortunately.

I've noticed the above not on my phone (I don't see ads) but on someone else's.

I would flood zap the one who'll install that on phone carriers and ISP servers 🥷😅

at least a DNS like dismail[dot]de would be fine to use :)

Barely works for me anyway. Still getting ads on youtube/chromecast

Is there any way to block ads on YouTube mobile app? I would love that so much.

LibreTube

I noticed that Youtube is currently blocking a lot of alternatives like yewtu.be, LibreTubev(Android), FreeTube (desktop). This really sucks. Probably justtakes waiting for the app devs to update it to circumvent the blocking.

Pihole can't prevent youtube ads. It works by killing any DNS requests to a known ad or malware blacklist maintained by voluntary groups. That’s not the case for things like YouTube videos.

Using FreeTube fixes the ads.

There are no ads on nostr

no ads 🤝 everything loads slowly

And how fast the “internet” actually is

Yes unfortunately, Google Tag manager loaded on almost every website with an in your face irrelevant cookie notice.

😅

youtube will play you an ad video 10 times perfectly but fail to load the one you wanted :)

not only that, but ads also suck a huge amount of our precious bandwidth!

I rather download shitposts
