when they do this shit I wonder who their target audience is.
Their wallets.

It's a typo, they mean the ad blocking software uBlock Origin.

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

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.
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.

FreeTube on desktop, NewPipe on droid!
Firefox and ublock on desktop works just as well.

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.

Isn't Nebula a paid service?

I haven't seen an ad on Youtube in several years, thanks to uBlock Origin.
Browsing YouTube like the good old dayz

Isn't Nebula a paid service?
Yes, but from my understanding Nebula is creator owned.

Yes, I forgot to clarify that. I decided to pay for a nebula subscription, which is creator owned, and to try and stop using YouTube as much as I can.
I even got a nice discount on it from the sponsor segment of one of the creators I follow
I know this isn't an option everyone can take, but for the ones who can, I think it sends a clearer message to YouTube and Google than any ad blocker, if you don't respect me as a viewer I'll stop using your service altogether. The ad blocker is still a great option though!

Anyone not blocking ads on YouTube needs to start blocking ads and sponsored content on YouTube.

When the ad is playing, are you able to press up a couple of times and click on the little (i)? It might then go to a "why am I seeing this ad" page which you can then click ok on then click on don't watch this ad again and it will skip the ad. Doesn't work if you're casting a video from a phone, and it doesn't work on some channels.
That stipped working. Now the option it gives you is to block the ad going forward after it finishes
