Sorry - smugness isn't nice. But I don't know why people are still trying to use Youtube directly, when there are clearly much better options.
iPhone users don't have the option of a convenient app, though I understand brave browser can work. Either way android users have an easier time blocking ads then Iphone users. I pay for YouTube family so my kids and the TV can avoid ads.
I dont know much about this topic, I just seem to recall a post on the front page of my lemmy app a while ago saying to NEVER use brave as it was a scam. Is there truth to this?
I don't think it was a scam as such. I think people didn't really understand their model. I haven't stayed informed on it though so maybe there is more to know.
