I just opened youtube, and literally between every video on the home screen was the same adbanner for this stupid movie This was never this extreme for me. Is something similar happening for some of you, or is this just rng?
I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in over a decade.
Grayjay.app also no ads here
Not many people here I guess, because most people here use ad blockers.
I couldn’t stop giggling at the ad banner I saw for it. Something about imagining Godzilla gnawing on a kong (Dog toy) and losing.
Not a one for me. Probably not random, though; I have targeted advertising turned off. Probably you’re recognized as being in a specific demographic they want. Change your settings and see if they go away.
What is YouTube?
My friend. Revanced is the solution to your troubles.
Premium gang.
Can confirm Ublock Origin is an absolute godsend! YouTube forcing me to watch multiple 3-minute long ads just to watch a 2-minute video was driving me nuts!
Honestly I would probably just stop using YouTube altogether if I was forced to use it unmodified.
I haven’t seen those ads or any other since I’ve got an ad blocker
I use Libretube so… No.
I’m more swarmed with the fact that when I updated my repatched yt app I now have to open videos in Newpipe because videos will usually within in the first couple minutes go to the black buffer screen indefinitely.
I thought i was the only one. Also using newpipe lol
Sounds like you need uBlock Origin or Invidious/NewPipe.
SmartTube Next if you’re on a TV device.
SmartTube
Next
I have uBlock on my PC, but not on my phone
Look up YouTube revanced :)
revanced/uyou
Super easy to add. Takes less time than sitting through an unskippable YouTube ad.
Firefox mobile and uBlock origin
Might need to uninstall/disable videos opening in the YouTube app but yeah this combo works great.
Naw, haven’t seen an ad in years, because I use Adblockers.
Sounds awful though.
