    Don’t forget YouTube disabling the video player all together if they catch you using an adblocked

      I don’t get that though, it’s not possible to block YouTube ads, so the adblocker, ublock etc, is only blocking ads on other websites unrelated to YouTube. It’s got nothing to do with them.

      So… What gives?

        They work great on desktop browsers, maybe yours isn’t configured right?

        And on Android there are alternatives…

        I watch a lot of YouTube though (mostly science channels) so I will probably be forced to start paying. I don’t like it.

          Use VPN, switch country to turkey, pay 20 bucks for a year of youtube premium. It sucks, but 20 bucks is more affordable than the 10 per month they are asking.
