No way I'm paying for Youtube Premium while it is bundled with Music. I'm more than happy with supporting creators with single donations or buying merch instead of paying Google.
I'll just use Firefox with ad-block (on mobile, too), I wish good luck to Google blocking that. ;)

LOL, what crackdown? I don't even use an app, because I don't need to - I don't see any ads, on my PC or phone.

Maybe the fact they have to be so aggressive with ad blockers should tell them that they are showing too many ads! Years ago when the ads were reasonable blockers weren’t as popular!

YouTube emphasizes that its terms don't allow third-party apps to turn off ads "because that prevents the creator from being rewarded for viewership, and Ads on YouTube help support creators and let billions of people around the world use the streaming service".
I thought creators get money for doing good videos that attract the viewers' attention and not because people love to watch ads on youtube.
F*ck yourself google, you must be totally f*cked up in order to sell your pervert ad policy as a philanthropical charity program.

Even YouTube cannot stop ReVanced's latest version from ad-blocking.
Long live to ReVanced

it was stable and acceptable when it was only 1 ad 20 second long at the start of the video and other 20 sec ad at the end of the video, and in the middle only 3 sec ads every 10 mins, that was acceptable and everybody was happy google was making good money creators was making money and users were okey with that amount of ads
"there were no back to back ads, ads 30 sec long mid video, ad every 2 or 3 mins"
but greedy google always want more from the users, dont google just increase the ad pricing instead of piss off all the users?

It just so happened that these are just front ends for YouTube so they can't just take them down. Unlike zlib that was promoted on Tiktok and was taken over by the FBI.

Everyone talking about adblocking. Grayjay gives basically all YouTube premium features for free and much more too. I'll be using Grayjay as much as I can.

First you subscribe to get ad free, after market saturates, they start showing ads to subscribers. This is the common theme for all video streaming platforms.
