I use an add blocker to such an extent im horrified every time I'm on an unfamiliar device and have to deal with copious adds.
I remembered a scene of a black mirror episode: if the person looked away the ads will stop until the person watch it again and it's unavoidable ... I wonder if this will be a reality one day
Put a pi-hole in my rooter filtering all adds of all webs and apps was the best thing I ever did.

Giggity What would be the definition if it was in the urban dictionary?
Allot of my phrases tend to be like this without noticing... Its like a power I think
If I'm watching YouTube on my TV, I mute it when anything longer than a 5 second ad comes on. If what I'm watching is less than 10 minutes, I'll just back out and start in again, usually it will come up without the ad, then seek to where I left off. Although oftentimes lately, I'll be watching a 5 minute video, and I'll get 1 minute in and get hit with an unskippable 2 minute ad, I just quit YouTube for the day.
dude use SmartTube on your smart tv https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube
it has adblock + sponsorblockI think I tried that once & had trouble getting it installed... Don't remember what kind of trouble though, I suppose I should try it again.
I have been using UBlock and Firefox... I always get mad when I can't get UBlock for the YouTube app of my phone
I use Greentuber on my phone. Don't know how to get rid of adds on my fire tb stick.
I don't know what everyone else is using, but Revanced works perfectly for me despite the exaggerated claims of its demise.
If you click the ad does the company have to pay like a fraction of a cent or something for a click through? Like if I always click on the ads can I make them pay for having waisted my time if it’s only a little bit?
Not even kidding, my dad watches YouTube on this smart TV and when an ad pops up he covers his eyes and screams until he finds the mute button. He then keeps covering his eyes until he can fully skip the ads.
