Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.
adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit
(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)
There are no ad blocking YouTube apps on iOS so I suspect Apple blocks them. The DMA will soon let us in the EU install whatever we like, but fuck Apple.
There is uYou+ but its not on the appstore so its pretty much impossible to install
You can side load it with AltStore or SideStore, it’s pretty straightforward
Maybe with windows. On linux i spent a solid few hours on it before giving up.
You can use an Invidious instance or Piped to watch YouTube ad-free, and with SponsorBlock builtin for the later.
