Youtube - The Ads are Too Much

**veriableodds** · 10-08-24, 11:15 PM

Ok what's really up with this shit? Wife and I go to restaurant in Sonora, MX. We get home watching some YT videos and now some of the commercials are in Spanish WTF? Keep in mind phone is not linked to YT, or the Roku, have done all the security settings in the video I posted above. The food was unreal $4 gets you a gigantic portion both of us had huevos rancheros got stuffed

Only thing I care about September to December is NFL games highlights.

As I used to be a GamePass annual subscriber, now I still get junk mail from GamePass, discount offers etc.... and I get to watch no-ad version of Highlights (plus Top Touchdowns and similar Top-vids) plus NFL Network stream all in one website.

youtube is one big infomercial disguised as entertainment

The algorithm pushing the same old stuff at me all the time has seen me move away more than the ads.

I seem to get bombarded for 1-2 days every month or so with the ads...

Right as I get to my wit's end, they seem to go away for awhile.

Yesterday was that day and it seems to be "back to normal" this morning.

One of these days I will likely finally do the Premium

I downloaded the Brave browser. No more ads on YouTube videos. Fantastic.

A message came up on Youtube today with Opera browser, "Ad Blockers Are Not Allowed On Youtube"

I tried it a while back but it was a little bit clunky/incompatible for me at that time. How's it now?

Have not seen a single ad on any website since I added the UOrigin extension that bjb recommended.

Very pleased as those Youtube ads were driving me up the wall.
