    I have YouTube ReVanced on my phone. If YouTube ever defeats uBlock Origin on my desktop, I just won’t watch YouTube on desktop anymore. I refuse to watch or view ads.

      Back in the day my grandma would literally mute TV ads and look away while setting a timer to indicate when to look back. So I come from a long line of people refusing to watch ads and not about to start now.

      I pay for Premium and I still used ReVanced for the sponsor block. However, after some time, I couldn’t watch videos beyond the 40 second mark, ever happen to you?

      Ya. That’s the point. They don’t want you consuming their server CPU cycles unless you are paying for it via youtube premium, or advertisers are paying for it.

      I paid $12 to watch oppenheimer and that was 3 hours. I watch way more than 3 hours of youtube every week. Easily worth paying for premium.
