The ridiculous amount of ads is what’s made me basically not use YouTube unless I really really need to.

On my computer I have an ad blocker which makes it more tolerable but then there’s the added friction of “ugh I have to go start the computer and sit down yadda yadda”.

I could pay for a mobile ad blocker so I could watch crap on my phone. But then again - it is mostly crap so why bother. Perfectly fine with less YouTube in my life.

Well, just pay for the subscription. It gives you youtube music as well, and you can share it with several other people. It just a few bucks a month, totally worth it.

We must have different definitions of "a few bucks"...

It's $23 for 5 persons. I share it with several friends.
