@itsfoss What ads ? i don't see any. simply don't use the mobile app. use a proper browser like , a proper screen, and . Then and can go fuck themselfs.

@itsfoss I don't mind it in long videos, its the short ones that really riles me up.

@itsfoss they're a nuisance. I haven't used Youtube in months now and I'm very happy without it. I use PipePipe as the alternative, even though it has the occasional glitches/bugs, it's still a very stable app.

@itsfoss I like it, this will hopefully force me to leave YouTube 4good

@itsfoss Depends on how it's unskippable.
If they "burn in" ads in creators movies, it's outside current agreement and they will most likely get the EU on their arses..

@itsfoss
Invidious + rss + mpv ...... What's an ad????

@itsfoss Yet another lesson why proprietary services are to be avoided. I hope more people will learn this lesson and move to free software alternatives like PeerTube.
