If you're on desktop, use ublock origin and sponsor block. If you're on Android, use tubular ( https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular ). It has no ads, built-in sponsor block and allows you to download videos and play them in the background for music. If you're on Android TV, use Smart Tube ( https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube ). It basically has the same features as above, but with a TV-friendly UI. If you'r…

How does Tubular compare to PipePipe ( https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe ). Both seem to be forks of NewPipe + SponsorBlock, but PipePipe seems like it might be a bit more active.

What is the first screenshot illustrating? live chat/subtitles..?

If you can't differentiate between things like "you should hate another country" (propaganda) vs things like "you should know about this product" (ad), I don't know what to tell you.

One is nationalist propaganda, the other is capitalist propaganda. Both are propaganda.

From your own link: > In the 1910s and 1920s, many ad men believed that human instincts could be targeted and harnessed – "sublimated" into the desire to purchase commodities.[44] Edward Bernays, a nephew of Sigmund Freud, promoted the approach making him a pioneer of modern cigarette advertising

That's mostly pseudoscience.

For those voicing the "yeah, well they're not a charity" sentiment:

What Google have done with YouTube is push it at a loss for long enough to kill competition. Once they're the only ones left, they get to dictate everything because there's nobody left to compete.

It's not _illegal_ (not exactly, anyway), but don't expect me to then call using the service and blocking ads "stealing".

There is a beta version of ublock origin lite available now on iOS [1]

I don’t get ads on YouTube in my iPhone, and all it took was using the website instead of the app. What am I missing exactly?

This is what I do too. It's not as comfortable as an app, but it works and it's free, definitely good enough to watch a video.
