I'd rather not watch YouTube videos at all than videos with ads.
Smarttube stopped working some weeks ago for a day. I tried watching YouTube with ads, the experience was so fucking insane to me. Like multiple, non skipable ads before the video starts + more ads during the video. It just was unwatchable. Its just unusable.
Newpipe still works (Google may break it, but the app is usually updated in a couple days and it works again)
It just didn't work for a day. They are really fast in patching. But good to know that newpipe is working also an androidTV.
Try grayjay
Here's my current lineup.
Newpipe Freetube Greyjay Tubular Brave
They get through all those, I'm just going to surf peertube or odysee
I don't mind one or two of their old 5 second ads, but anything beyond that is unacceptable especially on a 2 min vid.
