Me vibing with my Invidious instance that lets me have no ads, no tracking or proprietary scripts, and syncing of subscriptions, history, and playlist on all my devices 😌

newpipe or vanced

interestingly, the youtube app on my phone doesn't have ads at all (as of recently), most likely because companies don't want to advertise in russia, but youtube still doesn't want to pull out, because of potential future revenue (after the war ends), and they can still sell user data 😎

Would you rather the creators not get paid? Seriously

Figuratively too. Most videos are consumerist garbage.

YouTube has ads? I've never seen any. That's because I use uBlock Origin and NewPipe.

I mean... kinda duh? By definition every corporation revolves around what will get them money. ISPs aren't giving youtube a cut of the subscription costs... we aren't paying for youtube premium or whatever they call it. Saying youtube is only interested in throwing us ads, is like saying Jiffy Lube only changes my oil because they want to get paid for it.

Ublock works like a charm

that's one more reason to access their content via an invidious instance like yewtu.be
