The only time I ever see a YouTube ad is when I watch a family member pull up YouTube on their phone. It looks literally unwatchable that way. There are so many workarounds to this issue that I don’t understand how people can tolerate intrusive ads every 2 seconds.
I just keep hitting next until I get a good ad 💪
Yes, a sixth plugin against ads. Thanks for the recommendation, we must arm ourselves against the tech overlords.
This one is built on top of ublock you won’t need both. It blocks then “clicks” all the ads ruining their campaign metrics.
Wait, is this real?
Only on my TV, where my family watches youtube through our PS4. Old kids shows and taskmaster and the like. It’s incredibly obnoxious— ads play when you open the video, and if you want to simply restart it move to the correct place it’ll play the ads again, and the ads can be 60 seconds long each time. They also pop these unskippable ads up at the most obnoxious moments in the videos.
The “next ad” button often does bring the time-to-skip down by ten seconds or so, at least. Still obnoxious. But I’m not sure about a better way to access YouTube and Disney+ and Prime Video etc etc on the tv from one device, and, well, I have a 4 year old, so doing without is not much of an option.
Having to use my TV to watch YouTube recently instead of my PC until I can get a new cooler for my CPU, I can confidently say “yes.”
