    I would once again like to remind everyone that Youtube only has ads if you want it to. uBlock Origin is your friend.

      Or my phone insists on opening the YouTube app if I press a notification, instead of like, Firefox Android with uBlock

      I'm still surprised they haven't made it so that adblocking makes the videos unplayable

        It would require some pretty fucked up intervention on user end, probably illegal actualy. Also Streisand effect, the majority of people don't use adblockers because they don't know how or why, its best to not change that.

        Twitch already tried doing that 2 years ago I think and they gave up, or I should say the adblock devs won so it wouldn't work anyway.
