it even happens with paid Amazon prime now. I just started a movie, got an ad. Stopped it and restarted it, got the same ad.

Big tech is making SNAFU a reality for streaming.

Don't happen on pirating websites, I was told

I heard it certainly does happen on pirate streaming sites on iPad 😒

Pirating things on an iPad is one of the worst ways to do it, I hate the workaround we have with Stremio...

I'd like the Jailbreak scene to make a great comeback, so it can help with all these annoyances... Or Apple widely supports sideloading at least.

I installed the newer version of revanced on my SO’s phone and after a while it started just like… stopping videos out of nowhere. By that point I forgot how to reinstall it, and didnt feel like relearning all that, so unfortunately it’s back to ad city :/

In my experience libretube with default instances is bad, I couldn't even watch a single video without buffering every 3 minutes for a minute.

With a selfhosted instance however, libretube is perfect

This is the GOAT IMHO, it is worth it even if you pay for YT premium.
