    I’m even wondering how people can use it as it is without ad blockers or clients like newpipe

    I tend to use my TV and don’t have a PiHole. I usually watch 20-45 minute long videos and, for some reason, YouTube actually puts fewer ads on longer videos. Get like maybe two, 30 second ad blocks in a ~25 minute video. But then I’ll get three, 90 second unskippable ad blocks in a 1:30 video. 🤦‍♂️

    IDK why they don’t just have it only show an ad every X minutes, regardless of it being the same video or not. Or what about ads on Shorts? I haven’t seen a single ad the few times I’ve been binging shorts.

    There are also videos and entire channels that aren’t monetized at all that never get ads on them. Like when people put a pirated film on there it doesn’t get taken down, it just has no ads.
