    I watch more YouTube than I do television these days.

    As of now, I’m able to watch it ad free on both Brave and Firefox. I don’t have revanced as I’m more or less too technically stupid to do it.

    If it becomes impossible to watch YouTube, I’ll walk away from it just like I did cable in 2009 and Netflix in 2023.

    I haven’t sailed the high seas since the eighties, and I’d honestly prefer not to, but you gotta make a product that doesn’t consistently try to piss me off.

        The only answer is Ublock Origin.

        Aside from that, you can do adblocking for your entire network and everything on it via Pi-hole. It requires no modification for the devices on your network and will work for literally any device connected to it.

        If you combine those two, the odds of seeing any ad anywhere isn’t zero, but it is close enough to zero to effectively be zero.

          I have a spare pi4 I should set that up. Although it’s had issues with WiFi so idk I’ll be able to do it.

            You should just put it next to your router with a wired connection. This should improve latency for dns requests and give you less headache because no problems with wifi can happen.

              Wait, so I just need to use one lan/wan? I was under the impression I had to have it kind of set up like a router by using the lan cable for network access and then the wan for devices to connect to… That’s not how it works?

              I already have an omv nas on a different device I could use as well.

                You just need to connect the raspberry to your network, set a static IP and set the DNS server in your router to the IP of the RPi. Your router handles all the Routing and Wifi and the RPi just resolves DNS queries.

                I suggest looking up what DNS is and that should clear things up for you.

                Btw, I gess you meant wlan with wan, those are two different things in networking.

      It’s not trying to piss you off, it’s trying to make money, as it should. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to run the infrastructure behind YouTube? Neither do I, because it’s unfathomable.

      I pay for YouTube Premium along with 5 friends. It’s $5 per month per person. Beats any streaming service by miles.

      I do, however pirate all my movies (except for the occasional cinema visit) and TV shows.
