Ads don't particularly bother me but they do get tiresome when every other post is an ad. I don't use FB though. YouTube ads are getting increasingly irritating - it seems that every two minutes during a video there will be an ad break, but I refuse to pay for a subscription for the small amount I use YouTube. I think there are some alternative interfaces which stop the ads but I keep forgetting to use/try them.

Try YouTube Revanced (requires modding APK) or LibreTube (available on F-Droid) if you're on Android. Go with SmartTube on Android TV. Just use Firefox + uBlock Origin if watching YouTube on a computer.

Libretube is the one I installed!
