I have an android phone. They get too much money already from giving my data to their paying customers
besides, have you ever seen that meme about bandwidth for the content vs bandwidth for the ads?

I use uBlock for several years (+5), maybe only 4 sites blocked me, but I also use NoScript and I blocked those websites script, now they don't block me anymore.

That's too much trouble for me, especially since adblocker doesn't work on Android YT app. I like convenience Premium gives me, including downloading videos without any third party tools.

I only use it on my PC with an adblocker anymore, it became completely unusable on other platforms, the ads are not only annoying in general but the way they're patched in makes it greatly more irritating. The video you're watching will just cut out mid-word an an ad starts blaring.

We need an Adblock blocker blocker.
And something for TV Youtube would be nice. Other than a PiHole.

When I encounter one of those I reload the page 5 or 6 times to waste their bandwidth and then go elsewhere. Maybe some day they'll learn that some people will tolerate ads and some people won't, but most of those who could potentially be swayed will ditch and never bothered to return if they're blocked from getting in.
