it even happens with paid Amazon prime now. I just started a movie, got an ad. Stopped it and restarted it, got the same ad.
Big tech is making SNAFU a reality for streaming.
Don't happen on pirating websites, I was told
I heard it certainly does happen on pirate streaming sites on iPad 😒
Pirating things on an iPad is one of the worst ways to do it, I hate the workaround we have with Stremio...
I'd like the Jailbreak scene to make a great comeback, so it can help with all these annoyances... Or Apple widely supports sideloading at least.

I installed the newer version of revanced on my SO’s phone and after a while it started just like… stopping videos out of nowhere. By that point I forgot how to reinstall it, and didnt feel like relearning all that, so unfortunately it’s back to ad city :/

In my experience libretube with default instances is bad, I couldn't even watch a single video without buffering every 3 minutes for a minute.
With a selfhosted instance however, libretube is perfect
This is the GOAT IMHO, it is worth it even if you pay for YT premium.

Not using an adblocker?
Only a jabroni would have a laptop on the kitchen table while they eat
Gatekeeping where someone can use thier laptop in their own home seems wack. Although, I'd advise to not use it in the shower.

Nothing like ad blocking and good ol piracy
...why would I watch YouTube for entertainment though? Probably an episode of Doctor Who to catch up before the 23rd. Also, I own a television.
Far more interesting youtube creators than almost everything on television, esp. after the writer strike. Less commercials, skip capability, que capability. Television has been obsolete for many of us for over a decade. I honestly don't understand why anyone still pays for cable unless they are over 70.
It's still baffles me that people still say that YouTube has been around for decades now. There is all sorts of interesting content creators. It is an old family guy reruns.
If you think YouTube is boring that's on you for not finding interesting content, and watching crap instead which means that the algorithm just offers you more crap.
Find what you're interested in and watch it and then the algorithm will start recommending other stuff along the same lines maybe subscribe to a few channels I think I'm literally subscribed to hundreds of channels. I barely ever watched stuff the algorithm suggests any more because I found pretty much a constant stream of good quality content creators.
Personally I prefer documentaries, educational content and investigative journalism. YouTube excels for these genres, especially since PBS is primarily using YouTube these days.
Idk but I just realised my idea of entertainment are video essays, free online class courses, educational videos, movie critiques and cat videos
