Doing my best not to contribute
You also have to subscribe to Disney, NBC, Paramount and WBD if you really mean it.
It's advertisement revenue, not subscription, apparently
To meet that consumer demand, streaming services now offer ads in some of their subscription plans thankfully!
They get me on mobile (forced ad views on their app), but not on desktop (Firefox/uBlock).
Why use an app and not the website?
I just assumed the app was better to navigate than the website while on mobile. Maybe I should give it a shot, or one of the other suggestions here.
I am on iOS, if I watch YouTube it is via the web interface and my adblockers stop pretty much everything.
If you have Android, look into ReVanced
Yeah I'll check it out. Thank you!
If you're on android try the pipepipe app from the fdroid store. It blocks ads, has sonpsorblock built in and can play videos with the app closed.
Easiest way is use a VPN that says you're in Albania. I'd recommend Mullvad or proton as a second choice
