If you've ever wondered why YouTube goes so hard on ads when they make the experience so miserable, well, there's your answer.

        Freetube, and what I use, Newpipe. There are better experiences out there. All one needs to do is search for them. Happy hunting.

          Isn’t that still using YouTube? Just a different interface.

            Eh, I would argue you’re only using the servers to access the content creators data. Youtube is the interface, algorithm, advertisement, comments, etc. If it’s just the creators data being accessed with no additional contribution from youtube then I would just treat it as any ol’ host server.

        For watching YT videos: NewPipe or Tubular for phone app. FreeTube on Pc. Invidious in browser.

        Just a few examples, there is loads more alternatives.

        Including different platforms all together. Too much to choose from.

          Many people responded with helpful advice. You decided to add rudeness to that. Why?
