I am for sure one of the smaller number of people doing this, but I watch YouTube on my TV using the TV app. As a result I always had to watch ads. I wish I could avoid them. I suppose a could watch from an alternative and then AirPlay it to my TV, but that’s about it.

I remember when they first put ads in and people rebelled. Frogs in a pot because it's not like any of you will actually use peertube

I feel its slowing down Smarttube too, because I have to wait a few seconds for the video to start now. I don't know if it's a bug

Can someone create (or does it already exist?) an app that plays the videos in the background, remove the ads and then let you playback the whole video ad-free? Sort of like you did back in the VHS-days....

Man, it's wild to see Youtube kill themselves in real time.

Try opening a link from Gmail in Firefox or searching Google for a specific piece of information. SSDD. Fuck Google. At this point they're in par with the evil Amazon.
