I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

    Can’t help you with iPhones, sorry. Never had an Apple device. You could blacklist known ad-servers through your router though, if that’s an option (for home use, at least). On Android it’s simple enough with this app: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/releases

    If your TV is Android based, https://smarttubenext.com/.

    It’s a native TV app that captures the original youtube stream and displays it completely without ads, and comes with a sponsorblock implementation as well. Works amazingly well and is updated about weekly.

      Domain blocking won’t work for youtube, they serve ads from the same domain.

        At some point its gonna be easier to have a script auto download videos from subscribed channels and put them on my jellyfin server. The only reason I haven’t done that is that it will take lots of drive space and would need a system to remove videos periodically.
