I've been using youtube on Firefox with ublock since the premium price raise. Even on android. The experience is not great, but that makes sure I don't have ads at all.
Also discovered unhooked addon yesterday. Is desktop only, but great for going into less youtube rabbit holes that waste my time.
don't make solutions popular.
It's lemmy, world's smallest social media platform. We'll be fine :p
That's sad but it's true 😢
Yeah but things get popular here, we tell our family and friends, they go out and tell people...
