Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.

[–] astanix@lemmy.world 52 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (7 children)

My wife uses a TV to watch YouTube, My kid uses a phone, My other kid uses a tablet.

Saying just use ad block isn't feasible for everyone.

[–] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 56 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file

I haven't watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable... five years ago or so?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Even on an iPhone, you can use vinegar to block YT ads. Or Firefox Focus.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

+1 for Vinegar. My only real complaint is that I use Firefox as a daily driver, and Vinegar only works with Safari. Even though Firefox is using the Safari engine under the hood on iOS, (because Apple doesn’t allow third party browser engines like Firefox’s Gecko, and forces everyone to use WebKit instead,) it doesn’t support Safari extensions.

I’m fine with switching to Safari to watch YouTube… But since Firefox is my default browser, YouTube links automatically open in Firefox. There isn’t a way to specify that I want everything except YouTube to open in my default browser.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

I feel you! Firefox Focus is my daily driver, but occasionally its adblocking doesn’t work on YouTube so I have to manually open it in Safari :c

[–] Funkwonker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

There is no ReVanced or uYouPlus for iOS. You have to sideload that shit, cuz YouTube is too far up Apple’s ass for them to allow something like that on the App Store.

Ironically, they allow Vinegar. But only because it’s a Safari extension (and Apple likes when people use Safari more than they like the money from YouTube.)

[–] scarilog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

You have to sideload that shit

That's a price you pay when you buy apple. Thankfully it is still an option, just takes a bit more time and effort than on android.

[–] swag_money@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i watch YouTube on my phone with ff+ubo

[–] FleetingTit 1 points 3 days ago

Other options: NewPipe, Libretube, Grayjay

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

On a TV use SmartTube. On QN Android device (phone or tablet) use LibreTube (or InnerTune for music)

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

And then you're stuck constantly reminding every family member which app to use on which device when they come to you because they're getting ads or something isn't working right.

For a single power use that's fine, for a family with kids, it's nearly impossible without going crazy and killing them.

[–] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago

I took the YouTube app from the main screen and let only the smartube app so everyone is forced to use it. Worked

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The stock YouTube app can be disabled, and they only have one choice... Works for my kids.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

This. Remove/block options that allow ads and keep the ones that filter then.

[–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

get youtube revanced for both phone and tablet at least

[–] nl4real@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

uBlock origin and Sponsorblock work for me on Firefox Android Beta.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

And I don't pay for Spotify or any other music service. Premium yt videos is just a bonus

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It used to be free AND ad-free.

[–] Robin@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Sure but that's obviously unsustainable

[–] MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 12 points 3 days ago

Yes being greedy expecting exponential growth is unsustainable

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But something like $7 for premium without ads is absolutely sustainable. But, you know, line go up more.

[–] Robin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah the prices do keep creeping up.. And they should have kept Premium Lite without YT Music

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Do creator even get any real amount of money from the money collected through premium?

Buying premium seems like the dumbest shit imaginable to me.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 46 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They do, and based on reported stats it gets them more per viewer. No idea if anybody's audited those stats though

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not sure about currently but at least a year or two ago creators could see the split of premium views & income vs free views and income and premium views always paid out more

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago

They still can. Whether premium or ad supported views pays more depends on the channel and the value of the adverts that are streamed on it. For channels / topics that advertisers are keen to appear on the ad supported views pay more, for more niche interests the premium views pay more.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

They get 2/3, as opposed to 55% of ad revenue and nothing from adblock users

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have ad blocker on my pc, but pay for youtube premium for the TV app and the youtube music.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago

Use LibreTube or InnerTune, no need to pay. I've heard good things about SmartTube too

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

How long until that's just made illegal?
