Whats the percentage of YT users who use Adblock tools? i think it's a tiny number, mainly the power users.
There are people out there using YT without an ad-blocker?
well, The majority of YT users doesn't even know what is an adblocker.
edit: typo
That makes me kind of sad.
I prefer watching on my tablet, and still got no luck with any ad blocker. Somehow I like the default YT app, so switching to something else would be hard for me…
I use NewPipe. Never seen a single add in 5+ years.
Then again I don't use a google account on YouTube.
Yes NewPipe is great, just watch what you want, no ads, just the channels you're subscribed to !! But I wonder how this YouTube blocking experiment is going to affect NewPipe as it's not using a YouTube account for watching.....
You could try AdAway if you have an Android tablet, although I'm not entirely sure whether this app blocks Youtube ads too, as I don't use the official YT app.
I thought it was most people who use an adblock for yt atleast on pc. I only know q single person not using it
