Still need a good strategy for blocking ads on my TV. Mostly watching YouTube through a Chromecast so I can control it from my phone

On desktop: uBlock origin (Vivaldi or Firefox). On mobile: Newpipe and AdAway (VPN mode, or rooted phone).

I'd love to know their cost of storing all the YT videos and serving them.

And yet they aggressively demonitize channels.

I mean they don’t want to pay the creators thats abundantly clear.

What youtube ads, I haven't seen one in years, fortunately.

I have to see them at school all the time, because our ~~teacher's~~ teachers don't bother installing adblockers.

Use Firefox Mobile and ublock origin it will block ads on mobile

Pro-tip: Watch youtube on firefox/etc with a bunch of ad blockers. No ads.
