That’s foul. I wouldn’t touch YouTube without Ublock. You ever try watching that garbage without it?
The one app game I like(d) was Scrabble. It was sold and is now an endless stream of ads. Turn, ad, turn, ad, turn, ad, nonstop. It’s unplayable. I had to delete it.
Ad blockers make media consumable. Granted, less screen time would likely benefit everyone.
I don't touch youtube with a browser.
Grayjay. Or Newpipe.
If I just have to use a browser, then Invidious.
Thank you! You just opened up a whole new world for me haha
