Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)
YouTube ads are getting more frustrating, with some users reporting unskippable ads that are nearly an hour long. Are ad blockers to blame?

Some Alternatives:
- Firefox + Ublock Origin
- Grayjay App
- Grayjay Desktop
- FreeTube
- NewPipe
Youtube ReVanced is flawless. It's easy to patch
I have tried using ReVanced a few times when NewPipe was down, but it never worked for me. Maybe I'll try it again.
Firefox + Ublock Origin
This right here. No longer using chromium-based browsers is a really good start.
Works on Android as well.
- LibreTube on Android
NewPipe stopped working for me two weeks ago, and it seems like Google won't allow NewPipe to download Youtube's content for free anymore. I don't think Youtube/NewPipe will ever be usable again. I think we have to say goodbye to Youtube.
Did you update to 0.27.5?
Good suggestions but most of the time I can't get any of these apps to work, some commenters here say differently but for me, due to YouTube's policy of "sign in to prove you're not a bot", I end up using a tor browser with cookies denied and sadly all the bullshit yt advertising of course.
