People do nothing but incessantly complain about thing- yet still use thing. News flash folks; You’re never going to win this. YouTube will always be ahead of you on this.

And also.. I’ll never understand this. I use YouTube and don’t give a shit about ads. The moment they start bothering me- I’ll stop using YouTube. It’s that easy. Don’t like it, walk away.

If you hate something so much, yet can’t stop using it- you have an addiction. Ads are not the problem here.

I stay a few steps ahead of them. I haven't seen a YouTube ad in months.

Firefox with ublock origin on desktop / laptop

Grayjay mobile app

Smarttube on Android TV (also Flauncher customer launcher so I don't have to see any ads on my TV home screen)
