I just lost my premium subscription after about 2 years of paying $3/month in Argentina. Here it's $24/month (family plan). YouTube is unbearable with all the ads. Sometimes a 10-minute video has 3 as breaks. I'm only using it for precise purposes now, not scrolling and exploring, and finding alternatives as much as possible.
OK, am I the only person that has a working ad blocker and doesn't get YT ads? Literally never seen one.
If you've used YouTube on anything besides a computer, then you would know that the experience is suboptimal.
There are ad blockers on mobile browsers, too. Besides, there are other ways to block ads, like DNS blocklists. Or if it's just for Youtube use an alternative front-end like Piped or Invidious or Grayjay for built in ad- and Sponsorblock
I've used the alternatives and the experience isn't really nearly as polished and consistent as using the YouTube app, especially if you just want to sign in and use your YouTube account. I'm not saying premium is cheap but it's really not out of the ordinary to pay for the service as some people think it is. There are also YouTube kids and music that provides some value.
If there are DNS blocklists that work for YouTube, please provide a link or guide.
