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.
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.

Again YouTube ads? What the hell are you people talking about?
Mfers act like forgot about revanced.

It's a typo, they mean the ad blocking software uBlock Origin.
I am already blocking origin, i was asking how i unlock it

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.

Have they made anything like this for Roku yet?
I havent tried it yet but i think you cab rub a pihole and use that to fikter at the source

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

Only for the paying customers, apparently. Crime pays, yarrr!
Blocking ads isn't a crime .

Nah, YouTube serves ads on the same domain as the videos, so DNS filtering is out.

I'm trying out nebula because I saw your suggestion and honestly a year for $60 isn't terrible at all. But I'm having trouble finding creators (not because the app isn't good but because it seems a lot of the channels I follow on YouTube aren't on Nebula. I have two devices open actively going down the list of channels I follow on YouTube trying to find channels I want to follow on Nebula and so far I am striking out pretty bad. I hope I can get half the creators I follow on Nebula because so far it's pretty decent from what I have seen. App is easy to navigate and pretty polished etc.
Is there a way to view who's on the service (creator wise) before paying for it? Because if not that's the major flaw with it.

I am not sure if it is possible, to be honest. I decided to move as I saw a lot of the YouTubers I follow do sponsored segments on nebula, so I knew I was going to find at least them in there. If I do find any kind of page or tool to find out I'll share it here

That explains the adblocker crackdown and enshittification of paid. Funnily enough, this pattern got me to block ads.

I seem to have the right stuff on my laptop, but not on my phone. When I play escape games on the phone I occasionally need a walkthrough video, so I'm switching between 3 apps: the game, my notes (a paint app) and the video. Walkthrough videos typically have an ad at the beginning and maybe one in the middle, and I don't mind watching 15-30 seconds of ads for the YouTuber's work.
This used to be pretty seamless, but a couple weeks ago something changed. When switching back to YouTube, it would not return me to the video but to the home screen. I have to go to "You" to get the video I was just watching, and when I click it it plays the ads again, then jumps to where I left off. So now every time I switch away I have to view an ads again when I switch back, which really sucks balls. I don't think the phone is running out of memory since other apps I have open switch right back to where they left off. So I'd love to get something that will skip all that.

I was using libre tube for a while and that broke.
What's the best link for revanced?
You have to patch it yourself, sorry.

I tried Nebula and it's nice, bit it's too US-centric (+ something from the UK)

Oh that's sad, it worked the last time I tried it but that was a few months ago.

uBlock Origin intensifies
They’re blocking it actively now. For me, it requires a tampermonkey script to bypass the blocker check in Firefox.
