        Install uBlock Origin on PC/phone and you have no ads, for free.

        For TVs and Android boxes there’s SmartTubeNext (also free), an alternative YouTube front-end with no ads and a lot of cool features you’d only dream of on the standard ad-filled app.

          If you get Premium, you don’t get ads except those added by the creators in their videos.

          I don’t see the moral reason to skip paying reasonable prices for content that I enjoy.

              Google shares Premium revenue with creators.

              Also, Google provides the distribution for me to watch the videos. There isn’t a case around where the distribution chain isn’t compensated for delivering the product some how.

          SmartTubeNext Is spectacular tbh. I expected it to be clunky but no, it works better than the default YT app
