Every time YouTube premium comes up, somebody mentions ublock origin failing to realize that a lot of people use devices other than a personal computer to watch videos (chrome cast, smart tv, phone, etc).

You could also set up something like Pi-Hole.

Doesn’t work with the YT ads. Their apps bypass your dns and you can’t tell the ad traffic apart to block it. uBO only works well in the browser.

Pro tip: compare prices for online services across countries. Netflix, YT, etc are 1/10th of the price in places like Argentina, turkey, etc. And the savings are just one vpn connection away to signup (you don’t usually need a vpn afterwards to use it)
