    One thing that comes to mind is that if you’re on iOS you unfortunately can’t really run an adblocker on YouTube (sans running it in browser I guess), but you can easily use a VPN.

    Also YouTube periodically tries to break adblocking. 99% of the time uBlock origin works, but this could be a backup if they ever succeed.

    Oh and non-Android Smart TVs often don’t have ad free YT apps available either. You can run those behind a VPN too.

      You can. It’s called Opera browser. Yea they data mine you but you can even get background play. I know I blasting one of my secret alternatives to giving youtube my money but hey share the love.

        I already mentioned the browser option and you can also use Orion for that. It’s not as nice to use as the app (though background play is obviously an advantage)
