It's even worse on long form pods, YT will stick in multiple ads, which themselves become long. YT is an actual joke these days, completely lame to use on Android.

If you have logged into Amazon prime recently you can see bars and bars and bars of "rent or buy or subscribe" content, to the point I hate even looking at the site.

I'm paying for Amazon prime, what happened to simply "free to me" listings based on the fact I'm paying for the subscription?

But YT is such fn garbage, I cant even put on a channel I subscribe to and have it just play the vids in that channel.

Instead it feeds me random shit not related to the channel or search.

I hate it.

It's garbage.

On Android you have NewPipe for video and ViMusic/Blackhole for audio only.

You have to install the .apk manually or from f-droid, but they work like a charm.

I've been using it since Youtube Vanced died and it's working perfectly and I'll keep using it until it dies too.

You also have regular Firefox + uBlock Origin that works great.
