Ask HN: Has YouTube peaked?

There is still some quality content on youtube, but the ads I get are awful and repetitive... It's probably my own fault though as I turn personalisation off (so likely no frequency capping)

And there's something tragic about people making content in their homes and reading out a marketing script about some crap for a minute.

why are you not using ublock & sponsorblock? Ads are a choice you know?

Ads aren't a choice on mobile or SmartTV.

on mobile, newPipe (open source app) is great to get youtube content without ads, and/or listen to the music of a youtube video with the screen turned off.

pi-hole can still help with that, unless the client is running on android.
