People are installing and uninstalling ad blockers in record high numbers as a result of YouTube's anti-ad blocking efforts.

    There’s also the option of biting the bullet and paying for YouTube Premium.

    No. Never. I’d rather stop using YT at all than giving in to coerced user-tracking.

      For desktop install and use “FreeTube”.

      Alternatively for your android phone you can use “GrayJay”

      Never. Pay. For. YouTube. Premium

      At this point, I don’t even care about the user tracking. I just don’t want to sit through unskippable ads anymore. Especially when it’s the same ad over and over again.

        Well then you’re in luck, you have a lot of options for removing ads before giving money to YouTube.
