Ads can be bad but Boost has a one-time small payment to remove ads, very good deal, and the ads on Sync don't work (for me at least) 99% of the time, so I just see an empty space most of the time where the ads would be. ๐
Sounds like someone has a pihole.
If that's the case and the ads still work 1% of the time, maybe update the blocklist?
That's the thing, I don't ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Then the solution is even simpler!
Solution to what?
The last 1% of ads.
I was just joking, you seem satisfied with your situation; however, a pihole is rarely a bad option.
Ah, right! Yeah, I mean, I am using Sync, Boost and Thunder right now. Boost and Thunder don't show ads (I paid the one-time fee on Boost) so it's more like โ % that I see an ad, perhaps, if I used them all equally, which is probably sorta accurate. ๐ So it's fine in my case.
I would however get a pihole if it worked in order to get rid of ads on YouTube on my TV. Because fuuuuuuuโ...
100% on the same page, except that I do have and appreciate my pihole.
Does it block YouTube ads on a TV? ๐ฅน
Sadly, no, due to it blocking via DNS. AFAIK the only way to block YouTube ads on TV is by sideloading a third party app.
That is definitely sad. Ah well, thanks anyway! ๐
