I watch youtube on a smart TV where I don't have a way to skip ads. I know there are ways to do it, I just never implemented.
The experience with Youtube is getting so much worse. It used to be one ad at the start of the video. Then it was two. And now ads in the middle of the video. They are also so long! It completely breaks the narrative of the video and is so distracting.
All of this just makes me want to watch less Youtube, which is likely not a bad thing.
if you TV is running android, you can use SmartTube

Youtube has ads?
Only for the paying customers, apparently. Crime pays, yarrr!

I'm still self hosting Invidious... Watching YouTube videos without ever visiting YouTube...
You can even access your instance with playlet on roku

I was using libre tube for a while and that broke.
What's the best link for revanced?
Best link is to look up the Reddit page to find their links in the info bar. We shouldn't be posting links here, or we might very well lose the privilege once Google catches on...

I've been ad-free youtubing since it came out in '06 or whenever that was. It's a shame that they disabled uBlock on Chrome, I used to really enjoy my chromebook before it became spam cancer
Yeah, I used ABP for a while and got occasional ads, didn't discover uBO til later.

How do you unlock origin? I have been blocking it thinking it caused the ads
It's a typo, they mean the ad blocking software uBlock Origin.

Their wallets.

I have yet to see my first ad on any youtube video.
I'm around long enough to have seen them, before blockers were a thing.

Future uBlock/NewPipe users
Thanks for educating people about the usefulness of adblockers, YouTube

Even with a premium account I’m stopping using YouTube little by little ever since they made their forced translation of titles and these AI voices that make the experience for bilingual people just horrible.

Finally subscribed to Nebula a few days ago. Between a third and half the creators I follow are there. I'm planning to move away from YouTube entirely, even if I can pay for premium or block ads I want to make the statement I don't support their service anymore.

And ReVanced on Android, SmartTubeNext on Android TV.
I like Tubular and/or Seal(a yt-dlp wrapper) on Android and don't use a TV, but yeah, anything but the actual YouTube app is probably better.
