            Throwing money, I guess could be a solution to it.

                I would tell you but I'm not actually trying to help the OP and also that's not what he specified anyway

                  OP gives Johnny Vegas a daily reach-around and now looking for advice on a work-around. What a trooper.

                      not sure if that will work. Let me know if it does. It drives me nuts sometimes as well.


                      For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'How can you block ads on youtube' themselves.

                          some people don't think they are ways around things

                          they want to get rid of ads they just pay more money to the streamers

                          ask some people about using torrents and a seedbox to get whatever you want for $7 a month... plenty of ways to download movies in 720, 1080 or even 4k rips and watch on your TV

                            No ad blocker is gonna work on my phone so I got no problem shelling out $14/month. Premium allows me to download vids & YT music is included. Sounds like an ad but the best monthly sub I ever had (better than Amazon Prime)

                                Got the privacy crap out. I know turn off YouTube(tv with built in Roku) ads is possible without paying, will update.

                                  Thx, veri. I had one experience w/ Roku.

                                  Didn't really like it. Just like the video, too many rules to follow.

                                      Respect your opinion, **. And that's sensible. On principle, I might just tell Youtube to Go Fuk Himself.

                                          Oh, wow. Good Luck with the venture, John.

                                          I see so many Podcasts with sports opinions. My observation is that it's a pretty saturated market.

                                          Will be rooting for you. Hope that you can distinguish yourself. And of course, it's always nice to bang out a few winners!

                                            Chucky, I can't hack watching on my smart TV as the ads go wild on there...when watching on laptop not nearly as bad although they have ramped up the ads in the past months.

                                              Use the browser version and not the app. Ads are ridiculous on the app.

                                              And install Adblock Plus, it stops the video ads totally.
                                              .

                                                  I see so many Podcasts with sports opinions. My observation is that it's a pretty saturated market.

                                                  Will be rooting for you. Hope that you can distinguish yourself. And of course, it's always nice to bang out a few winners!

                                                    Go for it, John. You can do it.

                                                    I was out in Vegas recently. Sat behind two guys who were live on VSIN for an hour. They sounded really good.

                                                    He made one comment that I thought was insightful. For every one hour of on-air content, he estimated that he did three hours of prep work. Have to do the legwork to sound good on-air.
                                                    Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                                                      My buddy who works for the Twins has a podcast; I work with him on occasions.
                                                      It's a lot of hard work.

                                                          If you want to run YouTube on your mobile without ads, delete the app. Run the YouTube using Brave browser and it blocks all ads. I run it through my Brave browser and it works awesome with no ads.

                                                                I go awhile with little to no ads then all of a sudden I'm bombarded by them left and right...so annoying!!

                                                                I'm contemplating doing youtube premium but I don't really want to pay a monthly fee...that said, i use Youtube often and all these ads are wasting a lot of time and driving me up the wall.

Donated to PBS this week for the benefit of PBS PASSPORT great deal. Parmount plus sent me an offer $29 for a whole year, that's like over 80% off. So, I'll take it as that's not a bad deal at all
