ublock origin still works

Firefox + uBlockOrigin

Ad blockers work fine, what do you mean? Youtube lost, their next big idea wont even try kicking in until next year.

As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don't use it with any other adblockers.

Also if you're using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.

Ad blockers do still work on YouTube if you switch to Firefox. Aternatiely you ca n try out some 3rd party YouTube front end websites like invidious and piped. Just try out a few different instances each are a little different and some may work better than others.

I personally like vid.puffyan.us for invidious and piped.video for piped.

You don't.

You'll take whatever cock daddy capitalism shoves down your throat and you'll damn well like it.

Or use an adblocker.

unlock orgin is one of the best Adblockers and there's revanced, newpipe sponsorock and YouTube frontends

edit: or you could leave and reclick on the video

When the ad is playing you may see Sponsored X:XX and a little i in a circle in the lower left corner. Click the i. This will give you the ability to block or report the ad as appropriate. It will also show you what category has been associated to you as to why you received the ad, you can say if you want more or less ads of that category.

The iOS mobile app has a bug currently where you need to quit the app and come back after doing this, but it does block the ad and you won’t see that particular cut of the ad again. Unfortunately unless it’s a mid-video ad, or from a channel you’re subscribed to you will lose the video you’re watching as it hasn’t made it into your play history yet. But if the ad was mid-video your video can be resumed via history. For clarity, the video still exists, it’s just hit or miss if the video will be in the curated randomness they present you for you to try starting the video again.

I wouldn't know, haven't seen an ad on youtube in like 10 years.

1. Tap and hold on the YouTube app icon
2. Press "Delete"
3. Confirm any following prompts

Just use newpipe or something similar. I haven't used the actual YouTube app in years there's literally no reason to

Here's a creative way to do it.

1. Print out the downvote symbol and a screenshot of the ad.
2. Dip the paper in dog shit to emphasize that the ad is a shitpost.
3. Send it to 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043.
4. ????
5. Profit.

the ad center in your account would be where you would tweak what kind of ads you get.

Its not possible to “downvote” ads but you can still block them by using ublock origin on firefox

Knocking on wood, but at the moment ublock origin+ firefox still do the trick ? Well get the warning twice sine they start fighting adblocker, so it may change at some point.

But indeed, I should use youtube less, I pay for spotify, but sometimes use as a source for music, I tend to then fall on clickbaits video especially when cooking.

You can affect the ads by finding normal ads around the internet (served by Google) and telling Google what is and isn't relevant to you.

However, Google seems to allow advertisers to lie and game their system. Ie PragerU will advertise some "trans is bad" "children's book" schlock, labeled as "video games."

When you're already sucking it up and trying to fairly engage with Google, it's disheartening to see they don't even pay attention to what they serve people.

Short answer: You can’t

Slightly longer answer: Report it as offensive, dangerous, or porn

ETA: Best answer: As already mentioned, use FF + uBO

There is usually a little circled i somewhere on the ad you click and select "this ad is not relevant to me."

It won't actually do anything, though and the same thing can be accomplished by going into your Google settings and turning off targeted ads in general.

adblocks works source: me using firefox and ublock origin, i only got the "we detect you are using adblock" message two times, and it was a month ago(also revanced on android)

What platform?

The platforms I use, Android, Android TV and desktop, all have working and easy to install ad blocking options.

koff koff

if your account is banned for adblocker (like one of mine) make new a account and it still works. (firefox, not sure about others)

pain in the ass to resub, but better than watching ads on the channels i have not whitelisted.
