Ad blockers are useful for more than just YouTube. So they are not going anywhere. However it will be a bummer if we can no longer block YouTube ads.
On android I have to endure the ads but on desktop I never see them.
You can use the brave browser on android. As of now it blocks youtube ads.
Added bonus it saves on your data plan because wouldn't ya know it, the copious amounts of ads they shove in our faces uses a lot of data... that we already pay for. I'm not paying my cell provider for data just so advertisers can use it to try to get me to pay for more shit I don't need.
Firefox with ublock origin also works on mobile
Or another alternative is the app grayjay
Oh I didn't know ublock was available on mobile with Firefox! Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to switch since I use ublock with Firefox on my pc and I prefer that for privacy protection
