Get YT premium and all ads are gone. I will never go back to free YT.
YouTube Premium?
Just use Brave browser, havn't seen yt ads in years on my computer.
Adguardpro > Pihole
Haven't seen a YouTube ad in years
Just block the ads
Many ways to do this
Don't pay for premium
Brave Browser blocks ads.
*Adguard home
Brave browser
Newpipe.
Ideally run your own private newpipe server.
What? Ads on YT? I haven’t seen ads on YT for almost a decade. I don’t use their app. Just use Brave Browser and get rid of ads and being tracked.
Brave Browser
No need for it, really. Just use Brave Browser. No tracking, no ads, and plays videos / music in the background even if you lock your phone.
Yeah I forgot youtube has ads for years until I watched a video in the Tesla one day.
Been using Brave since 2016
I pay for premium just to avoid ads. Too lazy to pi
You don’t need to. Just use Brave Browser.
Have you tried using a browser on TV? Makes you wanna pull your hair out
All we get is CNN here and these people have doubled down on vaccinations and hating trump. Even my aunts are doing it . It’s so popular
Didn’t know you where talking about YT on TV, my fault. I don’t use my TV with Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is always turned off. In very rare cases when I want to watch a YT-Video on TV I use my laptop for it.
Haven't seen one yet.
Looks like "nostr only" is working just as expected.
You are a tech savvy guy, so I think you can solve this, easily.
Allow Louis Rossmann to explain why he thinks ads blockers doesn’t matter, at least for him as a content creator.
Was thinking about this the other day...
It is so generally unpleasant to go about routine, day to day, life and activities at this point in the election cycle. Everyone is angry. Everyone is looking to defend and perpetuate their ideas and beliefs.
Litterally like an abused animal backed into a corner, snarling and ready to attack.
Compare that to two years from now when we are at the midpoint of the incumbent.
Amazing what happens when the propaganda machine winds up.
I rarely watch videos on a browser. :(
Newpipe on android could be an option.
Ya my kids watch it on TV. I don’t watch TV. Most of what I watch is usually on my phone.
This election is getting more suspicious by the day. I’m waiting for the double speak while they attempt to explain how she won, the results magically come in, in her favour.
Will be time to batten down the hatches and make sure you’ve not only stacked sats but also stacked ammo. 😳
Big fucking whoop, go get an adblocker if you’re that concerned or bitch some more to the other bitcoin losers around you - it’s not like you got anything else to do.
Cringe pfp ☠️
Still some, but it’s only as long as youtube allows embedded videos to play without ads.
Until it’s blocked.
Pi doesn’t do anything. Who do you guys parrot around?
Use newpipe app or brave browser. No ad, no annoyance 😉
“Lemme get this clip of the guy who makes my opinions for me run it down for you”
Use Brave browser and you will have NO ads by default.
Yeah totally.
Or you just can’t accept life doesn’t go your way and that’s just what it is. Then you make a billion excuses and blame everything ever for it.
I report every political ad that YouTube forces me to watch as a “scam”.
I really should just only watch stuff on Rumble or Odysee since they aren’t nearly as bad at this point. I think YouTube has just become habit. 🤦♂️
There should be no ads on kid content
I litteraly havent seen an ad for like a year now, i use brave browser on mobile and desktop wich has a built in ad blocker, on mobile i have newpipe wich is a privacy focused youtube client, no ads as well. Im not on mainstream social media so i dont see ads there either.
Try not to be a passenger of your own life.
Pay for YouTube Premium, it’s worth it.
Pi-hole is the bestest
Premium solves that.
I can’t believe you watch ads to be honest
You seem like a pleasure to be around.
You can say that again. It is vomit all day marathon.
Pihole won't help much with that. The ads are coming from the same servers as the desired content.
It’s on Apple TV, wish I could just use Brave
Oh shit I didn’t think about that but you’re right.
I have Brave browser on my computer, but I have no control over the Apple TV app.
I use Brave everywhere else, but the YouTube app on Apple TV leaves no clear options to avoid them unfortunately.
Ah, unfortunately, you should sell the Apple TV for sats and buy a long HDMI cable to connect your computer to the TV 🤝
🤣🤣 who took a shit in your cornflakes my man?
I hope whatever has made you so angry is temporary and gets sorted dude, good luck.
I've tried a few different things just to see what happens. Generally just breaks all functionality.
So you're saying that you want to see what could be unburdoned by what has been paid for?
I hardline our Apple TVs and I despise “smart TVs,” but it’s all you can get these days really. I’ve considered buying computer monitors for TV screens more recently because everything has some awful, slow-as-piss, obnoxiously convoluted interface with less than the bare minimum hardware necessary to actually run it built into the TV now. It’s incredible to me how poorly built and designed they are, and yet alternatives are basically nowhere to be found. I still have some older flat screens with physical buttons on the back during the last era where you were able to still buy them without “Roku” installed.
Same, this was Apple TV
Didn’t even realize this existed, thanks I’ll check it out. 🙏🏻
Yeah, it’s my main, this was the YT app on Apple Tv
Never even heard of this, will check it out. Thanks 🙏🏻
Sounds like it is almost worth casting, or HDMI direct into the TV
You can use a pi to run AdGuard or Pihole, can block ads on network level, but is a pain in the ass to keep the blocked urls up to date.
That’s not a bad idea either. Depending on my home media setup after we finish the basement that might be a potential option.
Yea it’s been great. In addition to the age settings, you can also block entire channels if they annoy you, and you can disable search to further limit what shows up.
Caveats:
> Known limitations
> Here are some examples of what cannot be blocked by a DNS-level blocker:
> YouTube, Twitch ads;
> Facebook, Twitter, Instagram sponsored posts.
> Essentially, any advertising that shares a domain with content cannot be blocked by a DNS-level blocker.

pissing in cornflakes is one thing, but 💩 in the cornflakes is a state-sponsored attack
Nah dude, I love the Apple TV to be honest. After going through like 20 of the various “internet TV devices” over decades (from when they were literally brand new), the latest Apple TV kills all of them. And I also use my computers for way too much, I’d have to devote one to the TV at all times, which goes right back to just having an Apple TV basically but with a mouse/keyboard interface, which is just awkward. But I probably will come up with a different option for YouTube unless I grab premium.
Considering it’s iOS though, there might be a cool pear based app option to run with PearDrive. Might be an opportunity to explore how to get this in the Apple TV environment too. 🤔🤔
Ah it’s DNS based, so similar limitations to Pi-hole
What are you watching YouTube on?
Yep. DNS sink-holing.
and Google has said they will stop making Chromecasts, also. The best 'tv' device IMO
Yeah. We have it set for our kids (8,6,4,2) to only be able to watch approved shows. Really makes a difference as when they occasionally watch something on the tv at least we have some parameters.
degoog, it's fine up in here (*_*)
Ah, they always find the way... 🤷
Just use the Brave browser. No ads anymore.
Use uBlock Origin's advanced user mode to block the advertising JavaScript. It works and I haven't seen ads for years.
Use your tv as a desktop display then. Idk if it would work on apple TVs but i do it
Wake me up in January.
Simplest option is to pay for Premium (it’s worth it for me as I use YouTube music) but goes against the grain..
Set your VPN for Albania and YouTube won’t show ads
You... Watch youtube without an ad-blocker? You?
Libretube!
I recommend to install the Duckduckgo browser. In there, you can watch any YouTube video without interruption and completely ad free. Highly recommended!
watch YouTube in Brave browser. No ads. No problem..
Don't buy YouTube premium. It's funding the machine and defeats the object. Just download Brave browser
YouTube premium via India or Turkey.. Regional pricing is lit
Use Brave, problem fixed
Embrace the cringe, the only way forward is through.
😂 I’ve responded to a bunch of people with this same shock, this is only on the Apple TV. Basically have to use the YT app as far as I know.
Invidious fixes this
I am so glad I have YT Premium.
You must think you're very important to tell someone else what not to buy, what their objective is, and which web browser they should use.
I hate ads as much as the next guy and certainly agree with preventing cross site tracking (Firefox Containers, for example), but YouTube isn't free to run. They offer me a way to avoid ads so I take it. I'm not going to be a thief while still using their product.
People bitch and moan about ads yet aren't willing to pay either.
skipping Kamala's voice is worth $10 a month for YouTube premium.
I caved a long time ago and got premium. The ads are worse than cable tv was
Use duck browser, there is a clean YouTube player there
Why watch ads on youtube? It is bad for health
If youre watching on PC, use uBlock Origin.
If on phone/TV, watch youtube via browser like Brave or Firefox+uBlock.
If on TV, you can sideload SmartTube.
Or just buy Premium if you watch it a lot, its worth it.
Interesting perspective. I'll bare that in mind. 🫂
Use AD block
Youtube premium
You pay?
Just saying there is MeTube, Invidious and also Viewtube now 😉
Yeah
What are these things?
What do you usually watch YouTube on?
Phone then laptop then tv
If you're using Apple or Android TV check out SwizzVPN app it blocks YouTube ads even for the YouTube app
Other alternative is using a VPN and setting it Albania lol. YouTube doesn't have any ads in Albania.
Pihole is not going to work for YouTube. If you are on desktop use UBlock Origin and Tampermonkey. On iPhone or Android, You need to get Userscripts or Tampermonkey and install some ads blocking script.
That is so interesting. Why is that?
Open source alternative front-ends for YT so you can just download the video, save it, then watch it instead of Adverts and tracking.
The SwizzVPN uses AdGuard to block video ads. Albania just doesn't have any advertisers and YouTube isn't allowed to show Albanian users non-relevant ads.
