YouTube is starting to really turn to shit. All these short or auto play videos with very little substance that are basically TikTok
Edit: And the ads are absolutely relentless. (Adblock doesnβt seem to work anymore.) No I wonβt be paying for premium
My uBlock Origin is still holding strong on the computer. You really need SponsorBlock in the mix as well, and DeArrow is good for de-clickbaiting titles and thumbnails
YouTube ReVanced on Android is fantastic. You can enable all of those things in one app if you like. It is a bit buggy at times though. But there's also a feature you can choose to hide everything to do with YT Shorts, the shorts bar, shorts notifications, shorts in the subscription tab, etc etc. don't think you can only computer though
you won't believe the yt's I've seen
starting to think about a pi hole for my home network tbh.
It won't work for YouTube ads, sadly
I've found it to be so slow to load a video on my phone. And they ruined queuing up videos to a chromecast
