    Install uBlock Origin on PC/phone and you have no ads, for free.

    For TVs and Android boxes there’s SmartTubeNext (also free), an alternative YouTube front-end with no ads and a lot of cool features you’d only dream of on the standard ad-filled app.

      If you get Premium, you don’t get ads except those added by the creators in their videos.

      I don’t see the moral reason to skip paying reasonable prices for content that I enjoy.

          Google shares Premium revenue with creators.

          Also, Google provides the distribution for me to watch the videos. There isn’t a case around where the distribution chain isn’t compensated for delivering the product some how.

      SmartTubeNext Is spectacular tbh. I expected it to be clunky but no, it works better than the default YT app
