Yeah exactly. I hate ads and 15$ is nothing to me. I'm not a poor college student anymore.

- penjelly 5y agoadblocker? exception being mobile..
- loudtieblahblah 5y agoYouTube Vanced. It's the YouTube app with an ad locker built in. Brave browser also blocks ads.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoAnd TV
- gpm 5y agoUblock origin + Firefox seems to block ads on mobile fine for me, the mobile browser interface to youtube does leave something to be desired though.
- ekianjo 5y agoNewPipe on Mobile all the way
- _piif 5y agoYup, I was surprised when I found out it had Sponsorblock integration. Immediately ditched Youtube Vanced in favor of Newpipe at that moment.
- raro11 5y agoYouTube Vanced also has it integrated btw. You have to enable it in your settings
- _piif 5y agoI'm aware. I simply prefer Newpipe because it has roughly the same functionality, is more lightweight and is open-source (+ it's on F-Droid so I can easily update it along with all my other apps).
- ryanSrich 5y agoAnything you’re aware of for iOS?
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI only use a phone for watching stuff if I don't have a monitor or laptop around. That said newpipe is fantastic when mobile is the only available platform.
- perryizgr8 5y ago> I hate ads Then you should definitely use Vanced. It eliminates sponsored parts within videos, which are not removed even if you pay for youtube red.
- jquery 5y agoHow does it manage that? Crowdsourcing?
- perryizgr8 5y agoYes, people click a button to indicate start and end of sponsored segments in a video. Those time markers are sent to a DB, and every subsequent viewer will use that to skip the ad portion.
- austinthetaco 5y agothat is one horrific way to guarantee the content creators you enjoy don't get money.
- account42 5y agoIf content creators don't provide ways for paying them besides ads then that's on them.
- austinthetaco 5y agono, it's not on them, it's on you for choosing to take money out of their pocket. They have chosen the monetization revenues that they are comfortable with, circumventing the way people make money while watching their content is highly unethical. You don't show up to a local course or theatre production and use a fake credit card because you dislike the fact that they use visa.
- Cederfjard 5y agoSide note, what’s the etymology of ”Vanced”? Is it meant to hint at “advanced”?
