try sponsorblock or uBlock. Or some other third party apps. I’ve decided the inconvenience of watching youtube in a browser (with addons) outweighs the inconvenience of watching several long ads. At least for me.
ReVanced, in conjunction with MicroG, allows youto be logged in to Google while still having an ad block and sponsor block on mobile. Also setting up might be a little more difficult since it needs you to patch a YouTube apk yourself.
I understands this might be the exact opposite of what some people want but it works for me.
Maybe you have downloaded the wrong APK, there are some bad actors providing “pre built YouTube Revanced APKs”. Be sure to only download the Revanced Manager from https://revanced.app/ and the unpatched YT APK (version should match the recommended one in the manager) from a trusted source like apkpure etc.
Does it actually? Genuinely want to know. I’ve been using Revanced since vanced stopped working and haven’t seen a single ad but maybe that’s because of other things I’m doing with my phone
I have no idea what that person meant. The only thing that Revanced “injects” are info and updates of the app. The only thing I can think of is if they’ve installed it from a sketchy unofficial source.
It’s the original YouTube app but with addons. Revanced actually uses Newpipe to offer downloads. Biggest difference is that you can log in with your YouTube account on Revanced.
I use playlet on roku which uses invidious, but I recommend setting up your own invidious instance since YouTube has been cracking down on the public instances.

ReVanced I like better for Mobile, it’s the app but with sponsor block and ublock built in.
How does it compare to Newpipe?

Ironic that Revanced, an app that claims to block YouTube ads, injects its own ads.Edit: I downloaded the wrong version.

That’s a relief, was worried I was gonna have to figure out an alternative again
if you must use prepackaged, !revancedapks@lemmy.ml I’ve found works.

And SmartTube on the TV.
Is there also something for roku sticks?

Grayjay skips ads, and there’s an option to sponsors
