YouTube has been testing a Pause ads format for over a year now, and it's starting to show up for some users.

      There are better alternatives for Android like NewPipe, Tubular and LibreTube

      For PC, you can use FreeTube

        I wouldn’t call them ‘better’ alternatives. They’re easier to install for sure. Personally, I’ve used revanced, newpipe, and libretube and love them all. I stuck with newpipe, since that’s what my family uses now, and it’s easier to troubleshoot when I have it too. And revanced takes some steps, more than just “install this package, done”.

      Speaking of which, anyone notice the hellishly annoying full-screen shitty mobile games Netflix keeps front-paging?

      Seriously considering just giving up on the service and going entirely to piracy.

        I bought premium just because it was annoying that my wife viewed ads while doing her makeup in the morning…

          You sound like you enjoy watching your wife getting penetrated by more than just ads, if you really did pay YouTube

    It’s funny because I only hear about ads now from you guys. I never see them myself.

    Using freetube on a Linux media player connected to my TV and Newpipe on the phone.

          Their user name is making me wonder if they’re a very subtle and clever novelty account

    Yeah, it’s bad…… I didn’t feel like login into my premium account the other day and it was kinda much…….

    I am hoping we get a Democrat to in office this year. With the balls(Well she technically does not have balls; but you get my drift) to break some FUCKING monopolies up. We need to break up Ma Bell again

      Harris is married to the brother of an Uber executive. If you were hoping for a trust-buster, you picked the wrong candidate. Those $500k/plate fundraising dinners she hosts are coming entirely out of the Silicon Valley mega-millionaire bracket.

        500k/plate…

        How??? I’d genuinely like to know how one achieves this.

          A $500k/plate dinner for a guy with $1B feels a bit like a $500/plate dinner for a guy with $1M.

            I understand that but what would you serve on this plate, an apartment in new york city?

              what would you serve on this plate

              A piece of paper with only a heading: “Insert lobby request here:”

              And a footer: “Your business is important to us, thanks for supporting Democracy™”
