Do you mean the website or app version? Because as far as I can tell the YouTube app is effectively a quarantine zone for ads. The only thing I know that works there is pressing the little info button on ads and blocking them one by one, but that gets annoying pretty much immediately.
Oooooh… yeah, I see what you mean. I don’t use the YouTube app for precisely that reason. That, and better playlist control through the website. I can accomplish everything I want from the website version of YouTube, which usually isn’t much when I’m just using my phone, and if I want anything more complicated, I usually have my MacBook Pro with me, so I just use that instead.
And that usually is just using AirPlay for videos to my Apple TV, and I certainly don’t use the YouTube app on that, again, because I can’t use ad block on the YouTube app on my Apple TV, which is why I AirPlay videos from my MacBook Pro. And that works great, because the YouTube website offers much better control in creating playlists. So I would probably be using the website on my Mac anyway just for that.
I guess it really comes down to my particular use case
From a quick search it seems like it’s under 30%. Crazy.
Crazy how many people are raw-dogging digital sewage.
More like getting raw-dogged by it…
It’s an ouroboros of shit-fuck, really. People just going down on themselves unto perpetuity.
Crazy, but understandable when you realize how many people use iPhone mobile apps for 100% of their web browsing
I mean, there are reasonably effective adblocks for iOS available.
ublock origin light even blocks YouTube ads. It’s perfect.
