Honestly if I got ads for things that are actually relevant I'd have less of an issue. Right now 7 out of 10 ads are for a local event where Christians come to grift other Christians. Wtf am I getting that ad constantly?

This is really quite a silly move, I wonder when they will begin coming after other front ends. Only a matter of time now.. twitch have been cracking down on Android TV third party clients.

Looks like I'm installing Invidious tonight.
Greedy fuckers. They're not making enough money already? And when you pay them you get shit service anyways.
If they gave me an API key I'd be allowed use with SmartTubeNext and NewPipe, I'd gladly pay for premium.
I don't want to use your apps, Google.
If they roll this out for everyone I hope they will finally officially introduce YouTube Premium Lite, so I can get ad-free YouTube without paying for YouTube Music.
Welp, I guess I only have 3 videos left on youtube then, it was a good run. Then it's off to invidious and when that goes, probably peertube will have enough content :)
I love the idea of peertube, and it works well but without monetization it's hard to see how any original content worth watching will end up over there

That is pretty much the same policy I have for forcing adds on me.
Yup, I'm done also with this.
Copy this into uBlock Origin. Tells youtube ads are allowed and have been displayed, but no ads will show. Removes all references to shorts. Resizes video thumbnails so there's 6 wide.

Let's all click on the link that says 'I feelblike I'm falsely flagged' to give them some noise to work with.
Eh. I used to be a YouTube junkie but honestly I’ve gone back to live TV, Hulu, Netflix, etc… I’m kinda over the whole YouTube thing.
It's just a bummer that most tech tutorials are on there...wish we were back in the early 00s when alternatives to Youtube were still viable.
Lol. Guess it's time to add the rest of my subbed channels to YT-DL and ditch their shitty ad-filled site entirely.
