I've already switched to Freetube on my PC, and New.piped on my phone.

Looks like YouTube is the next tower to fall.

Youtube fell a long time ago. It's in ruins as we speak.

Im using Yattee on iOS with no issue. From the damn App Store, don’t think they’re cracking down very well.

I don't understand why YouTube doesn't just put the video ads in-stream, just seems stupid for stupid's sake at this point.

Just stop using YouTube?

If content providers notice their viewership going down they'll surely raise a stink to YouTube once it starts to affect their income.
