YouTube premium is over is the best services for the price. I get no ads in my car, my phone, my pc, and i get to give 5 keys to my friend and family to use.
Any streaming company that offers my an ad free plan that is reasonably priced I’ll support. I never want to go back to the days of cable where it was a paid service with ads. I’ll support the ones that give me the service i want. Ad free.
People. What. The. Fuck?
Why does everyone freak out about the adds and not the level of brainrot this is. Like how do you actually function in your daily life if you can’t stop watching content for a 5min shower? I have ADHD but I feel like I am amateur attention span issues and this is competitive ranked grand master attention span issues
Yes I am judging and maybe even shaming you.
Okay not shaming you because doing so is negative and I genuinely hope you get better if you have attention span issue. Smooches on you
Newpipe lover here.

😭 <- me when someone uses ad-infested youtube.
- Firefox + uBlock
- Fennec + uBlock
- Grayjay
- Smart tube
“watching”
jesus fuck people still rawdog the internet and willingly subject themselves to ads?
never see another ad again: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
this works on mobile too :3
Also, Newpipe for mobile and FreeTube for PC
Edit: Someone in this thread mentioned Pipepipe, a fork of Newpipe with extra features. I had not heard of it, but it’s worth investigating
Or YouTube ReVanced if NewPipe is too confusing and unfamiliar to you.
Morphed
Firefox + uBlock.
Also Morphe/ReVanced.
duckduckgo also and vivaldi
Can you do this from an iPhone?
Yes. The Orion browser on iOS supports both Firefox and chrome plugins.
You can use an android phone and block all the ads. This is what deterred me from iPhone last time. Greyjay, pipepipe, etc. No ads. Plus uBlock for Firefox. Among other huge advantages.
Adguard on iPhone does that, as with android it sets up as a VPN and blocks adds in all apps.
Does not work for youtube
Youtube in browser is what I care I’m not gonna download the app
Use uBlock origin on firefox
Last I used iPhone it was simply not possible to block ads. Super annoying.
I’ve been using Firefox Focus to block ads, including YouTube video ads, for almost a decade on iOS lawl
Also heard of https://github.com/fer0n/Unwatched but already switched back to Android before I got a chance to try it out.
Really surprised that this is readily available on the app store, tried it out for a bit and it seems to be working. Didn’t sign in yet but it looks pretty safe.
Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, I was surprised as well. I believe most of these kind of apps get around it by advertising as a RSS Reader or generic Mediathek. But from the Screenshots its hard to mistake it for something other than a YT Client. Guess Apple does dont care about it as much as Google would.
If it works maybe we should keep it on the down low. Also only heard of it by chance.
What amateurs still watch YouTube with ads? Every platform has plenty of easy solutions to bypass it.
Xbox/consoles?
In the shower?
Doesn’t work for all but at least for a time firewall blocking of ads worked
Roku?
Roku in shower? Bold I see.
I listen to it from my bath toaster
Bath Toasters are the best Toasters.
Explain
Simply don’t.
Playlet. Not the best solution, though. Roku is a very closed down platform.
Thanks for posting this. I had assumed the closed down nature of roku meant there wasn’t anything very useful on its appstore.
I get listening to music in the shower, although I don’t. Watching videos while taking a shower? Maybe while taking a bath.
But, really, you can’t step away from media for a few minutes a day for some peace and quiet?
Suffering through being alone with your thoughts is the first step toward better mental health. Your issues don’t go away if you ignore them, they just get worse. You know this, so make an effort for yourself.
I don’t want to be going through therapy while I’m lathering up my asshole. I wait for the weekend to do mushrooms about it
Laughs in Firefox.
Laughs in pipepipe
Laughs in practicing mindfulness and exploring the vast worlds of my imagination
(jk I don’t do this, I mostly feel anxiety instead)
Ah, yes. Maladaptive daydreaming 🥰
(it’s a nice thought)
You’re*
It’s not OP’s fault English is a stupid language with words that sound identical but carry different meanings. I’m of the mindset that so long as it’s legible it is correct. look at Old English. It was much more phonetic than modern English is. Scribes wrote words as they sounded. Languages like English have so many dumb and unnecessary rules as well. Why the fuck do we need capitalization rules anyway? Latin doesn’t have it.
Getting corrected is how you learn. I often spell words wrong, because English isn’t my first language, but I don’t mind being corrected.
But when to use “your” and “you’re” is actually fairly easy to remember. “You’re” is short for “you are” and is used when YOU are doing something. “Your” is used when someone else is doing something.
You’re sleeping vs. your cat is sleeping.
I don’t disagree but I think you’re missing my point. Minor variations of spelling shouldn’t matter, so long as it’s legible. If someone says dey instead of they, dat instead of that, wader instead of water, why should that be any less correct? I know it’s not exactly an apple to apples comparison but I believe language should be more flexible. So long as it’s understandable, why should it matter? Especially because English has and will continue to evolve in our lifetime. Why do people think in terms of absolutes?
It’s really fucking not hard to learn the correct usage. You’re: you are, your: something belonging to or being part of you. You’re isn’t a word, it’s a contraction of two words. It’s so fucking simple to understand when to use any contraction or similar sounding word that there is never an excuse to get it wrong. It’s also mostly native English speakers who get it wrong and part of that is the American educational system being one kf the worst in the world.
Shit like that used to bug me but eventually I realized it was a waste of time getting set off by incorrect word use or spelling. As long as the message isn’t ambiguous, who cares? And even when it’s on the border, it’s often clear enough from the context what they really mean (though can be fun to deliberately misinterpret it).
It could also be that language evolves with time. If more people use “your”, regardless of what the dictionary says than it’s correct. I believe there will come a day when you’re and your cease to be different.
I’m not blaming OP for the shortcomings of the language they use. Just pointing out a typo.
Agreed. Back then, dictionaries were basically suggestions and fiction. People only really started caring about modern consistent spelling relatively recently (19th century), but it’s assumed that’s always been the case. People used to just make up words as it made sense, like colour. Someone just made up that word and now we all use it, but God forbid anyone get creative nowadays! There’s been dozens of both successful and failed “spelling reforms”. Some people just decided on this one spelling and we all now pretend it was gospel.
Then the grammar Nazis come out of the woodwork, as if they cannot possibly understand anything you wrote, because of this one small error. It’s not helpful or interesting behaviour, it’s like pointing out a smudge on an artwork.
Most other languages on Earth have an intuitive way of spelling and sounding out letters, with actual rules, to the point where you can understand how to say something just by reading it. English has no such feature, despite some efforts. Every word is it’s own unique creature with it’s own unique spelling and pronunciation and history.
All the helpful features of English to help you know how to pronounce something have been stripped out to make it “simplified”. Ever wonder why they’re called “simplified English dictionaries”? Because there used to be other kinds of English and dictionaries. Because it spells it “naive” instead of “naïve”. The extra dot on the vowel used to mean that you say the vowels separately instead of smooshed together; na-i-ve.
Fucking dogshit language. It’s my first language, but I found my second and third languages easier to learn and more logical and intuitive. Now that’s saying something.
Also since you asked, capital letters were actually invented by the Romans, as a helpful optional feature to make things easier to read. They thought it looked cool to have Important Things be different.
Capitalization between sentences is needed because the period is so small. Or, the period can be small because we use capitalization between sentences. If we changed the symbol for the end of a sentence we could stop capitalizing the first letter of a sentence.
Maybe that will happen someday, but not soon.
If the point of written language is for the writer to communicate effectively, it’s important to follow the current rules, as you have.
Getchu one of these.
For those who play YouTube or other videos in the shower, it is really nice. Make sure it fits your case though. My wife doesn’t use ours because her otter box monstrosity wont let the cover shut.
Or just get a water resistant phone. Though I would suggest caution when it’s soapy water because that affects the surface tension of the water, which could mean some can slip past the seals that normally keep water out.
Though I have a water resistant phone but have never brought it into the shower with me. It was more of a case of not wanting to be worried about my phone in any kind of a situation involving water. Like going in to one of those 3D movie attractions with moving seats that sprayed water, I was concerned about whether I should be concerned about my phone getting wet. Turned out to be just tiny amounts of water and nothing to be concerned about even if I had my phone out, but after that I wanted to remove that worry from the list entirely.
Heat and steam can also be a factor in a water breach. A phone that can be fully submerged into a pool of water may or may not stand up well to steam at its seams, particularly where those seams have different materials with different expansion rates due to heat, like glass and aluminum. Small gaps may open, even if invisible to the eye, and steam can seap in. It may not even be a problem immediately but get worse later when the steam cools and condensates.
Yeah, though at least pressure doesn’t really factor in, which I think is where most cases of steam breaching a water seal comes in to play. But if gases can be exchanged, steam is way higher humidity than air normally and can condense inside.
My guess would be the odds of a soap or steam breach on a water resistant phone is very low, but if you bring your phone in for every shower, you might be tempting those odds.
Or if you’re a poor high school student like I was, chuck it in a ziploc and set it on the caddy.
Is it really impossible for people to just watch their dicks (or equivalent) for a few minutes a day?
