ublock origin still works

Firefox + uBlockOrigin

Ad blockers work fine, what do you mean? Youtube lost, their next big idea wont even try kicking in until next year.

As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don’t use it with any other adblockers.

Also if you’re using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.

Ad blockers do still work on YouTube if you switch to Firefox. Aternatiely you ca n try out some 3rd party YouTube front end websites like invidious and piped. Just try out a few different instances each are a little different and some may work better than others.

I personally like vid.puffyan.us for invidious and piped.video for piped.

You don’t.

You’ll take whatever cock daddy capitalism shoves down your throat and you’ll damn well like it.

Or use an adblocker.

unlock orgin is one of the best Adblockers and there’s revanced, newpipe sponsorock and YouTube frontends

edit: or you could leave and reclick on the video

Because everybody else is rather unhelpful (JusT USe AdBlOck, DOn’t USE yoUToUBe), try this it you can’t get adblockers to work:

For specific ads, look at the ad information below the video. There should be three vertical dots you can click, which will open a menu. From there you can report inappropriate ads or tell Youtube you’re not interested in those. The “not interested” button doesn’t always show for some reason, I think you may need to be logged in for that to show? You can always report the ad, that’ll make it disappear for you.

Customising ad topics and brands on your Google account can help get broader strokes of ad topics out of your ads. You can customise (up to a certain extent) what kind of ads Google will show you. You’ll still get ads based on the video subject, but it can help to remove specific entries.

If you’re on Chrome, you can try going to the new ad settings in your browser and see if there are specific topics you can disable from there. Google’s latest change to the ad ecosystem was making the interest tracking happen locally. There’s a good chance you have it disabled, though.

Adblock does still work for Youtube, as long as you don’t stack ad blockers like they’re layers on a sandwich. Blocking ads has become more involved, though, now only a few ad blockers will work and they won’t work in Chrome in a few months. Don’t do the crap reddit tells you (adding custom rules, changing settings willy-nilly), just run uBlock Origin at default settings.

On mobile, Revanced works pretty well. It takes some effort to set up right, but once you’ve got it running you won’t need to bother looking after it for a few months. I’m not sure if there’s an iOS alternative.

Here’s a creative way to do it.

1. Print out the downvote symbol and a screenshot of the ad.
2. Dip the paper in dog shit to emphasize that the ad is a shitpost.
3. Send it to 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043.
4. ???
5. Profit.

I wouldn’t know, haven’t seen an ad on youtube in like 10 years.

Its not possible to “downvote” ads but you can still block them by using ublock origin on firefox

Just use newpipe or something similar. I haven’t used the actual YouTube app in years there’s literally no reason to

the ad center in your account would be where you would tweak what kind of ads you get.

It’s in data and privacy. https://myadcenter.google.com/home

You can affect the ads by finding normal ads around the internet (served by Google) and telling Google what is and isn’t relevant to you.

However, Google seems to allow advertisers to lie and game their system. Ie PragerU will advertise some “trans is bad” “children’s book” schlock, labeled as “video games.”

When you’re already sucking it up and trying to fairly engage with Google, it’s disheartening to see they don’t even pay attention to what they serve people.

1. Tap and hold on the YouTube app icon
2. Press “Delete”
3. Confirm any following prompts
