minus-squareSchwim Dandy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·6か月前I read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.
minus-squarestrict0768@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·6か月前I believe you’re thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.
minus-squarebuttnugget@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6か月前Correct. If they ever roll out ads on premium, I’m not sure what we’ll do. Maybe figure out a new platform or a new way to watch.
minus-squarechinchillas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6か月前Amazon Premium started this trend. They’re shameless.
minus-squareyoumaynotknow@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6か月前Absolutely. And they update pretty quickly when YouTube breaks something.
minus-squareBrumefey@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6か月前You should add Brave on iOS to the list. Never seen any ad with Brave.

minus-squareFrenezul0_o@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6か月前That is right thinking. I admire that.
minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·6か月前I second Freetube. Not a perfect app (think it’s Chromium based), but it gets the job done and they’re pretty good about updating it pretty quickly whenever YT successfully breaks it.

SmartTube for Android TV devices
Absolutely. And they update pretty quickly when YouTube breaks something.
You should add Brave on iOS to the list. Never seen any ad with Brave.
