Use a browser and uBlock Origin.

The YouTube app has become absolutely unbearable. Like please, I don’t want to play games within the YouTube app ffs.

And the browser rather Firefox based ( or at least any browser that supports mv2 ) and yes all of the branches of chromium will not be able to support mv2 forever as google will literally remove it from chromium next year.

Ublock stopped working on Chrome Beta last week. Quite a few extensions stopped working actually.

UBlock stopped working on edge + youtube since that announcement.

YouTube for me now on Librewolf + uBlock Origin doesn’t even load a single video past like 30 seconds for me now so I’ve just moved over to using FreeTube

Genuinely I have never had an issue with YouTube using Firefox + ublock

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I didn't have an issue for 10 years (firefox+ublock origin too) and suddenly I saw a 6 second ad on a video I had stopped, I got jumpscared. They definitely are getting more aggressive with their tactics.

My YouTube does not load ads. How do I fix it?

Edit: Ohhh I forgot I have uBlock Origin. Silly me.

I'm sure we've all experienced this to some extent, but I also feel like confirmation bias can play a large role here, so im curious. Is there actually something running in the background that boosts ads over actual content? Is there any literature or first hand employee (YouTube or similar) experience on this

Different CDNs, I believe

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

CDN would be my guess as well. Maybe not different, but they would definitely have their ads queued up on every CDN possible while the video content is unlikely to be on your nearest CDN unless it's a Mr. Beast video

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Remember when ads were just popup banners on the bottom of the screen?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You dont have this problem nor ads if you download the content in advance with a yt-dlp script.

User internet issue.
