I'm on my brother's premium. I told myself if my brother stopped wanting to pay for it I'd pay for it myself because I hate ads that much.
On the other hand, if Youtube itself takes it away from me I'm going to just stop watching Youtube.
Revance if you're on android man. I mean I pay for premium but I still use it to patch the app at least.
I'm using Grayjay on android, I wonder how the feature set compares to Revanced? I like that Grayjay has sponsorblock built in.
On desktop, check out VacuumTube which is app that acts as a wrapper for YouTube Leanback (tv/console version) and has ad blocking built in.
