For context I’m in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they’ve increased in quantity by 150%. It’s also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It’s literally unwatchable
Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don’t get ads on my phone or on desktop, I’m very aware of how to block them. I simply won’t watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I’m not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.
There’s a version for webos too. But lg patched the security exploit. There may be a solution but I didn’t check as I don’t watch YouTube.
On newer webos, you need to enable developer mode and then you can install homebrews (adsless YouTube, kodi and more), without the need to root.
The downside is that to keep the develop mode apps for more than 48 hours, you need to setup a crontab or an ittt job to connect to LG servers to automatically renew the developer token.
