try sponsorblock or uBlock. Or some other third party apps. I've decided the inconvenience of watching youtube in a browser (with addons) outweighs the inconvenience of watching several long ads. At least for me.

ReVanced I like better for Mobile, it's the app but with sponsor block and ublock built in.

How does it compare to Newpipe?

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 37 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

ReVanced, in conjunction with MicroG, allows youto be logged in to Google while still having an ad block and sponsor block on mobile. Also setting up might be a little more difficult since it needs you to patch a YouTube apk yourself.

I understands this might be the exact opposite of what some people want but it works for me.

It's the original YouTube app but with addons. Revanced actually uses Newpipe to offer downloads. Biggest difference is that you can log in with your YouTube account on Revanced.

I did use to use Vanced but stuck with Newpipe as it was lighter (not tried Revanced as I switched before the shutdown).

Is there also something for roku sticks?

[–] aMockTie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I use playlet on roku which uses invidious, but I recommend setting up your own invidious instance since YouTube has been cracking down on the public instances.

[–] JDPoZ@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yattee on iOS works sometimes depending on whether or not YouTube has blocked an instance, but you could also try setting up your own local invidious instance to hook into it as a more permanent solution, though that was too much for me to figure out how to set up correctly.

Grayjay skips ads, and there's an option to sponsors
