Do you hate Youtube ads?

[FuckESPNdotCOM]

No ads (except the ones that are actually part of the video), download videos, and no tracking.

Desktop:
Freetube ( https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/releases ) on Windows/Mac.

Mobile:
NewPipe ( https://newpipe.net#download ) if you have Android, which a lot of you don't have. You're stuck with the shitty Apple apps.

It even lets you stream audio only (like free Youtube Music subscription, which is gay that anyone would pay for Youtube anyway). Can iOS even play music in the background? I think it's a new feature for them.

EDIT: added NewPipe link. You can't download NP from the Google Play Store. You can also install it through F-Droid.

IHeartRadio, iTunes, and Spotify have all been background music players for years on the iPhone. Not bragging as I don’t care about any one brand and this one iPhone is 5-6 years old. Just answering your question about the background player

I'm just trying to help people out who maybe don't like tracking or ads on Youtube. Considering most of you are conservative, I thought you'd like to stick it to leftist Google. :dunno Keep supporting the stuff you hate if you want.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong, Ben? I've never even applied for unemployment, much less collected it. I'm whiter than your fried ass, too.

I fucking hate their ads and will skip back and forth between videos instead of watching a forced 15 second ad.

Ads during long videos is one thing, but ads in the middle of songs? :blowup

I'll try NewPipe. Thanks, FESPN. :2thumbs

My brother is a Bernie Bro and hates Google more than I do. :dunno Both of us oppose monopolies (or companies which are effectively monopolies).

I don't really understand their ad strategy. >95% of the ads I see are for things I've already bought or decided not to buy.

If you don't want/can't do an app, you can use an instance of Invidious to avoid ads, but it's simply a front-end site, not an app, so things like streaming music in the background can be a bit more complicated.

https://redirect.invidious.io
yewtu.be and invidou.site are some of the easier ones to remember.

I still don't know how you Apple masochists stand all those ads. I got AdAaway on F-Droid which blocks ads and trackers via blackholing domains on the whole device. :pimp And it's free. https://adaway.org/

The App Store has a shitty AdAway wannabe that charges a subscription fee and looks like a scam. :dog https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adaway-se ... 1472274225
