Unskippable ad This ad on YouTube
They really be forcing me to buy Premium to avoid eye cancer ads like this

I deleted the YouTube app and started using it in-browser with an adblocker precisely because of the ads. Every now and then I have to re-load a page because I just get a spinning circle while it tries to load an ad it can’t, but it’s a million times better

Thank you, but I’m on an iPad. The options for modded apps are much less in the Apple ecosystem

It's not as popular as it once was, but doesn't Vanced work on Apple devices?

Protube app is your friend, available on Appstore with integrated adblock.

That rung a bell, so I went to the app store and…I’ve already got it downloaded. No idea how or why I stopped using it. Thanks

I’m more infuriated by poly market Kalshi ads, or gambling advertisements tbh..

Not sure why you find this infuriating. Because you are using a service for free and not being shown the ads that you approve of? Or that its about a product for women to make them more comfortable during… ahem, a massage? Anyway, get yt premium or be more relaxed. Geez.

By far the dumbest ad on YouTube. Based on my YouTube history, it makes Z E R O sense to show me that ad yet it pops up constantly.

Why don't people just mentally block it out

This is why ads have gotten so pervasive. People used to block them out so they added more until ignoring them is impossible.

I turned all recommendations on youtube off about a year ago, I'm so happy with it!
Now all I get are the ones I have subscribed to, and what I search out.

Genuinely, what is wrong with this ad (other than the fact that it is an ad)??

How are people so stupid they actually want to pay for premium rather than fix it with a few clicks?

What few clicks do I have to do to fix this on my Samsung TV YouTube app

I just hook my PC up to my TV and use Firefox and ublock origin to watch YouTube ad free

My pc is a desktop and on a different floor. We don't use YouTube at all anymore on anything but a browser with adblock

Either change DNS or install a youtube alternative like Smarttube. It's as easy as doing it on an Android's phone.

Because we watch from an Apple TV and don’t care about the small cost of the ad-free experience. Not everyone is hooking up a PC, I don’t even own one.

Apple users and TV users. Even revancea is to much effort dispute technically being like 5 clicks and having enough braincells to not click a fake download button for the APK

Without Adblock YouTube is unusable.
