    I don’t know how or why you see ads on YouTube. I have been using firefox and before that whatever else, for a very long time. I have not seen an ad of any kind on YouTube in many MANY years. And since sponsor block came out I’ve only seen a few that managed to slip through. I just fast forward. But why would anyone suffer YouTube with ads? You’re volunteering for it at this point because it’s insanely easy to block them.

      This just proves you are not the average user of YouTube…

      The average user of YouTube user either their TV app or their official mobile app, not the website.

      Me too, I also use adblockers when accessing it via the website in my computer, however when I’m watching things on living room I have to use the official apps.

      So yeah, most users suffer with their ads because it’s easier to use the official apps.

      YouTube app already comes installed in most Smart TVs, already comes installed in almost all Android phones (which is majority of the marketshare worldwide)…
