    YouTube is starting to really turn to shit. All these short or auto play videos with very little substance that are basically TikTok

    Edit: And the ads are absolutely relentless. (Adblock doesn’t seem to work anymore.) No I won’t be paying for premium

      My uBlock Origin is still holding strong on the computer. You really need SponsorBlock in the mix as well, and DeArrow is good for de-clickbaiting titles and thumbnails

      YouTube ReVanced on Android is fantastic. You can enable all of those things in one app if you like. It is a bit buggy at times though. But there’s also a feature you can choose to hide everything to do with YT Shorts, the shorts bar, shorts notifications, shorts in the subscription tab, etc etc. don’t think you can only computer though

      I’ve found it to be so slow to load a video on my phone. And they ruined queuing up videos to a chromecast
